Day 04

Full-Day Game Drives in Serengeti National Park

  • The migration takes place around the Serengeti plains, and at that particular time, millions of wildebeest and zebra move together, followed by predators.

6
Day 06

Ngorongoro Crater Game Drive and Return to Arusha

  • After breakfast, you will drive to Ngorongoro and descend to the crater floor for a wonderful game drive, with a picnic lunch, inside the Ngorongoro Crater, often described as one of the wonders of the world. It is the world's largest intact volcanic caldera and a natural sanctuary for some of Africa's densest animal populations. It is also one of the few places where the rare black rhino can be observed in its natural setting. As very few animals migrate in and out of the crater because of its 2000 ft. high walls, you can expect to see lions, elephants, zebras, hippos, flamingos, jackals, rhinos, antelopes, and many bird species. With a bit of luck, the 'Big Five' can be seen during a single game drive.

  • In the late afternoon, ascend the crater walls and drive to Arusha for an overnight stay at Green Mountain Hotel. Lunch box included.
