The park is also a birdwatcher's paradise, with over 500 recorded species. Other wildlife often seen on game drives includes lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, wildebeest, and more.

After an early breakfast, you'll head out to the Ngorongoro Crater. Starting at about 2,286 meters above sea level, you'll descend roughly 610 meters to reach the crater floor, which sits at around 1,600 meters. This huge caldera, once an active volcano, now covers about 304 square kilometers and spans nearly 19 kilometers.

Ngorongoro Crater is one of the few places in Africa where you might see all of the 'Big Five' together, as well as ostriches, hippos, hyenas, warthogs, flamingos, and zebras. Ngorongoro Crater is also one of the best places in the world to spot the endangered black rhino in the wild. The only animal you won't find here is the giraffe.

After lunch and an extensive game drive, we depart for Serengeti National Park.

Arriving in the late afternoon, you will enjoy your first game drive in the Serengeti as we head to your accommodation. The Serengeti boasts one of the highest concentrations of wildlife in Africa.

Lake Manyara National Park is famous for its tree-climbing lions, a rare and captivating sight, as well as large troops of baboons, elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, and an astonishing variety of birdlife. Flocks of flamingos periodically blanket the lakeshore in soft pink hues, adding to the park's enchanting atmosphere.
