Start this day with a sunrise game drive at 6:00 a.m. Afterwards, drive back to your Accommodation for breakfast, thereafter will leave the Serengeti for Ngorongoro via the southern Serengeti short grass plains, commonly known as the endless plains. It’s here where the name Serengeti was derived, a Maasai word meaning “The Endless Plains” .
We will proceed to Ngorongoro crater for a half-day game drive, which is the 8th natural wonder of the world and the unique, world famous caldera with the most abundant wildlife. We will descend into the Ngorongoro crater floor. From the comfort of your open-top vehicle, descending down the crater, you will enjoy amazing panoramic view and if you are lucky, you will see the Big five. The caldera is exhibiting more than 120 species of mammals. We will also visit saline lakes such as lake Magadi, which is a magnet for flamingos and other water birds. We will see pools full of hippos, the endangered East Africa’s last black rhinos including birds such as secretary bird, white stork arriving from Europe during the wet season, kori bustards, crowned cranes and ostriches. It is for sure a landscape of sheer beauty. Another big draw card to this picturesque park is its dense population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs and the ever-elusive leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot.
After the thrills and excitement of the day, you will have a picnic lunch in the park. Later ascend and drive for the rest and a night stop at Lodge or Tented Camp.
