Day 1

Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, you will start our journey to the Serengeti National Park. The Serengeti National Park, home to the Big Five (rhino, elephant, leopard, buffalo, and lion), is one of the greatest national parks in the world, spanning over 14,000sq km. The name Serengeti comes from a Maasai word meaning ‘endless plains’. Although populations fluctuate, there are an estimated 3 million large game animals in the Serengeti, including over 2,500 lions, 1.2 million wildebeest, and over 200,000 zebras. You will also have the opportunity to see giraffes, baboons, Colobus monkeys, gazelles, antelopes, crocodiles, hippos, waterbucks, hartebeests, and more! This vast and varied park is home to more than 500 bird species, including ostriches, vultures, martial eagles, kori bustards, crowned cranes, and secretary birds. You'll enjoy a picnic or camp lunch before continuing for an afternoon game drive through the vast plains. A trip to the Serengeti at any time of the year can never disappoint!

Ngorongoro Crater

After breakfast, you will drive to the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Ngorongoro Crater, one of Africa’s safari highlights. The name Ngorongoro is from a Maasai word meaning ‘Gift of Life’. You will begin by taking in the magnificent views from the crater rim before descending into the crater itself. You will have the opportunity to see elephants, lions, buffalo, zebras, and many other species of animals and birds. You will enjoy a picnic lunch overlooking the hippo pool. The Ngorongoro Crater is beautiful at any time of year and is teeming with wildlife.
