The park is renowned for its annual migration, when some six million hooves pound the open plains, as more than 200,000 zebra and 300,000 Thomson’s gazelle join the wildebeest’s trek for fresh grazing. Yet even when the migration is quiet, the Serengeti offers arguably the most scintillating game viewing in Africa: great herds of buffalo, smaller groups of elephant and giraffe, and thousands upon thousands of eland, topi, kongoni, impala and Grant’s gazelle. 

   Meals and overnight at Serengeti campsite.

5. Day 5: Full day at Serengeti National Park

   • Start early in the morning to experience one of the ultimate game-viewing sessions. After a hot cup of tea or coffee, you will soon be wide awake as you watch wildlife in its most active time. The cat family love to make appearances in the morning, while the early morning light makes photographing herds of wildlife a photographer’s dream. We can arrange an early morning balloon safari over the Serengeti for something completely different. 
   • View large pods of wildlife and watch the sunrise over the park’s endless plains, only to finish this relaxing journey with a scrumptious champagne breakfast.

7. Day 7: Full day Tour of Ngorongoro Crater

   • To experience the crater without the crowds, you will rise early for your full day’s game drive.

The Ngorongoro Crater is home to about 25,000 animals and is one of the last places in Tanzania where the Big Five can be seen. The NCA is considered one of the World Heritage Sites and also one of the International Biosphere Reserves.
