A safari vehicle takes you on an exploration tour of the famous Ngorongoro Crater. (The journey from Karatu takes approx. 40 minutes)

First enjoy the fantastic view from the crater rim over the huge caldera from a vantage point before descending a steep track to the crater floor.

The Ngorongoro Crater is a unique wildlife paradise and is one of the seven natural wonders of Africa.

On a safari here, you can observe almost all of Africa’s most important animals in just a few hours. In addition to lions, wildebeests, zebras, buffaloes, elephants and gazelles, there is also a good chance of spotting the rare black rhino. The crater itself is home to over 20,000 large animals, which can leave or enter the crater freely. However, most of them stay here permanently as there is no shortage of water or food. A true natural wonder that can only be found in Africa.

In the afternoon we set off for our next destination, the Ndutu Plain. As the sun sets, you will be driven to a tented camp where you will dine under the stars and fall asleep to the sounds of the African wilderness.

 

Accommodation: Tented Camp – Ndutu

Meals: 1x breakfast, 1x picnic packed lunch, 1x dinner

 

Today enjoy a full day game drive in the exciting Ndutu Plains / Southern Serengeti, witnessing newborn wildebeest calves take their first steps, constantly under the watchful eyes of prowling predators.

A safari in the Serengeti is one of the most untamed wilderness experiences in Africa. The Serengeti has become famous for the “Great Migration”, the seasonal migration of the animal herds – the largest animal show on earth! In search of water and grazing land, millions of wildebeest, zebra and various gazelles cross the entire Serengeti from the south northwards to the Masai Mara and back again in a seasonal cycle. The herds instinctively follow the rain and are on a never-ending journey.

In the afternoon we drive to your lodge. At the end of the day, enjoy a good meal and listen to the sounds of the wilderness.

Good to know:

The name Serengeti is derived from the Maasai word siringit, which means “endless plains”. An apt description when you consider that the entire ecosystem stretches over 30,000 square kilometres! The Serengeti is one of the oldest and scientifically most important ecosystems on earth. It is believed that the weather patterns, fauna and flora have changed very little over the course of a million years, giving the area a prehistoric flavour.

 

After a hearty breakfast and check-out from the lodge, we set off on an early game drive in the Serengeti. Undoubtedly the most famous wildlife sanctuary in the world, the Serengeti offers unrivalled natural beauty and an astounding variety of wildlife.

We drive out of the national park to Arusha airport where you take your flight back to Zanzibar in the afternoon.

You will land at Zanzibar airport with a camera full of pictures to share with friends and family to look back on the fantastic memories of your African adventure! Our driver will pick you up and take you back to your hotel.
