Nestling at the base of the Great Rift Valley escarpment, the park is recognized for its incredible beauty. You can see many game animals here, including buffalos, elephants, giraffes, impalas, hippos, and more.
After breakfast, proceed to Serengeti National Park. A picnic lunch will be provided along the way.

After a picnic lunch on a kopje (rock outcropping) in the Serengeti, continue into the park for a game drive.
Set out on an early morning game drive to see nocturnal predators returning from hunting and animals waking in the early morning light, followed by more drives around the Serengeti throughout the day.
Depending on the time of year and the migration of the herds, you can expect to see wildebeest, lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, monkeys, baboons, hippos, rhinos, antelopes, and many birds and other species.
After breakfast, proceed to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, considered a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and descend into the crater for a wonderful game drive with a picnic lunch.
Very few animals migrate in and out of the crater. With its 2000 ft. high walls, the Ngorongoro Crater has the highest wild animal density in the world.
Among the species found here are lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, hippos, flamingos, jackals, rhinos, antelopes, and many others. You might expect to see the 'Big Five' in one day.
In the morning, once the mist has cleared, depending on the weather, go on a nature walk at the northern crater rim of Ngorongoro Crater, inhabited by buffaloes, elephants, baboons, monkeys, and different species of birds.
Escorted by a ranger or Maasai guide, you will follow animal paths through the dense bush.
Afterwards, return to Arusha in the early afternoon to finish your five-day safari camping tour.
