After breakfast, we'll set off for the famous Serengeti National Park, home of the great migration. The views are spectacular as you drive up the crater highlands, stopping at the rim for a birds-eye view of the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater. Continuing on, spread out before you, is the vast Serengeti. Serengeti means 'endless plains' in Maa, the Maasai tongue. This 6,900sq mile (18,000sq km) park is inhabited by more than 2 million large animals including more than 1.5 million wildebeests and 250,000 zebras, as well as both gazelles and impalas. Large predators including lions, cheetahs, leopards and hyenas are drawn to the area by this abundance of prey which migrates through the park. Many smaller animals like rock hyraxes, bat-eared foxes, mongooses, honey badgers, jackals, monkeys, baboons and African hares also inhabit the area along with nearly 500 species of birds.

After your extensive game drive, you will arrive at your campsite and enjoy dinner and an overnight stay.

After an early breakfast, we'll head out for another game drive on the Serengeti National Park. We may be afforded the opportunity to spot the “Big Five”—lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino and leopard—before embarking on our journey to the Ngorongoro Crater. The animals roam freely through the unfenced reserves offering us an uninterrupted game-viewing experience. Arriving at the edge of the crater, we'll have our first glimpse of what awaits us the following day—glistening streams, open grassland and a myriad number of animals. We'll spend the night at Simba Campsite, directly on the crater’s edge with the orange glow of sunset surrounding us as we drift off to sleep.

Main Destination: Ngorongoro Highlands

Very early in the morning, after a quick stop at the viewing point high up on the caldera's edge, giving a birds-eye view of this teeming land of beauty, we'll descend down onto the crater floor. Enjoy a full day of wildlife viewing in one of the seven wonders of Africa and one of the most incredible places on Earth. The caldera, formed with the massive explosion of a volcano three million years ago, is home to 25,000 ungulates and makes a paradisiacal roaming ground for the Big Five along with over 500 species of bird. After a stop for a picnic lunch near the hippo lake and more wildlife viewing in the afternoon, we'll drive up the steep road out of the crater, passing through different climatological zones. We'll then return to Arusha.
