All these support a large number of animal and bird species. The park has a big number of baboons found nowhere in the world; tree-climbing lions and huge flocks of flamingos are some highlights of this park.

• On this day, we take you for an early morning hunting with (Hadzabe), the bushmen; the hunting is with bows and arrows & it will teach you about survival skills. Bushmen at Lake Eyasi are divided into three clans: Hadzabe, Tindiga & Datoga, living hunting & gathering eggs, wild fruits & root tubers, pretty much the same as humankind who lived in the Stone Age. 
• After the hunting, you will return to your campsite for a full breakfast before starting your way to the vast Serengeti plains via Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
• The safari continues as you drive to Serengeti National park, the driving is along the beautiful high-lying farmland of Karatu up to Ngorongoro gate. 
• After checking in, you will drive up & around the crater rim. You will have a brief stop at the viewpoint of the crater for some nice photos.  
• On the way, you will visit one of the Maasai villages for some more cultural encounters; the Maasai warrior will invite you and take you in and around their houses, where you can meet kids & other family members; you may ask questions and have some pictures with them.

• Afterwards, drive down into the heart of the “wild Africa” Serengeti National park with its endless rolling plains. 
• Break for picnic lunch at Naabi Hills Gate or at the Copjes (Rocky outcropping) when heading to the Central Serengeti area called Seronera. This is one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park, endowed with Seronera River, the valuable water supply in this area hence attracting a vast number of wildlife around the Serengeti.
