On this day we set out for the world Africa leading tourism destination Serengeti, home of the Great Wildebeest Migration and one of the seven natural wonders of Africa. Our drive today is spectacular as we drive up onto the highlands, and the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater. Spread out before us as far as the eye can see is the vast plain of Serengeti, a 6,900 sq. mile park inhabited by more than three million large animals including more than 1.5 million wildebeest, 250,000 zebra, and a 500,000 Thomson’s gazelle. Large predators including lion, cheetah, and hyena, are drawn to the area by this abundance of prey. Many smaller animals like rock hyrax, bat eared fox, mongoose, honey badger, monkey, baboon, and African hare, also here inhabit along with nearly 500 species of birds. After lunch we continue with the game drive en-route to the central Serengeti.

In the morning after your breakfast, you will explore on a game drive in the Serengeti National Park. During the short rainy season in November and December the herds move from the hills in the north to the plains in the south while during the longer rainy season from April to June they return back up north. This circle of life is determined by the rainfalls pattern and locations of the herds might vary from year to year but our guide will know where to find the animals and where best to view them. A visit to the Serengeti Visitor Centre is also possible.

After our lunch at a picnic site we drive in the direction of the Ngorongoro Crater and, as soon as we have reached the rim of the crater, the caldera opens up before us. This approximate 20 km wide crater is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to over 25,000 animals, is the best place of all to see these creatures in their true state, natural and wild.

In the morning after breakfast, we descend down onto the crater floor for a day of game viewing in one of the most incredible places on Earth. One of the seven wonders of Africa, the Caldera was formed about three million years ago with the massive explosion of a volcano that rivalled Kilimanjaro in height. The Caldera, 610 m deep and covering roughly 260 square kilometres, is an enclosed ecosystem. Ngorongoro, coming from the Maasai for the bell their cows wear, onomatopoeic in its mirroring of the sound that fills the valley as their herds graze, is one of the premier places in Africa to view the big five in their element, in the wild, as well as wildebeest, gazelle, reedbuck, a plethora of others, along with about 500 bird species
After a stop for our delectable picnic lunch near the hippo lake and more wildlife viewing in the afternoon, we ascend from the crater surely sated, up the steep road out of the crater for our return to Karatu.

After breakfast we drive to our final safari destination on this epic adventures safari. Lake Manyara National Park this is relatively small but diverse park, 120km west of Arusha, is so named for the shallow salt lake which covers a good seventy percent of the parks surface area. Flooding and drying with the seasons the soda lake is home to thousands of flamingo as well as over 500 other bird species. On our exploration of the park we will see more wildlife diversity such as blue monkey, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, buffalo, elephant and, with some luck, lions lounging in the trees. The park is known for it’s diverse landscapes; not only open grassy plains, but also primate-filled woodlands and baobab dotted cliffs. After another memorable game drive with our adventure at an end, you will go back to Arusha in the late afternoon.
