• You will have an afternoon game drive in the endless plains of the Serengeti to see the great herds of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles, or a pride of lions lounging in the shade.

Morning in Serengeti and Transfer to Ngorongoro

Ngorongoro Crater is the largest collapsed volcanic crater in the world and has fourteen kilometres of isolated natural beauty.

Day 04

Ngorongoro Crater Safari and Return to Moshi

• On the last day of your safari, you will have an early start. Finishing up with a quick breakfast, you will make an early descent at around 6:30 AM into the crater floor. The Ngorongoro Crater is the world's largest inactive, intact, unfilled volcanic caldera. It has a massive floor of about 260 sq km with a depth of over 2000 feet. The 5-hour game drive on the crater floor will show you a lot of animal action. Keeping the camera ready is recommended. African elephants, buffalo, black rhinos, hippos, hyenas, cheetahs, and lions are found in plenty.
• After the picnic lunch at the beautiful Hippo Pool, you will begin a steep ascent to the top exit of the crater. This is the last leg of your safari, with a 4-hour drive left to Arusha.
• You will be dropped off at your preferred location in Arusha by 6:00 PM in the evening.
