The Serengeti is the world's last great wildlife refuge that contains millions of animals, most of which take part in the annual migration; one of the natural wonders of the world. The name Serengeti comes from the Maasai Siringet, meaning “endless plains” and well defines the expansive plains that make up this amazing park. You will check in to your designated campsite, have lunch, and then take off to enjoy an afternoon game drive at the central part of the Serengeti. Later in the evening, you will return to camp for dinner and your overnight stay

After breakfast at the camp, you will depart with your picnic lunch for a game drive and to view the great migration.

Serengeti National Park— Resident wildlife numbers are exceptionally high in the Wagakuria area, with a pride of lions up to 30 strong. However, from August to October, the area turns into a wildlife paradise. The key feature is the Mara River and it is not uncommon to see the herds cross the Mara River north on one day and then back south a few days later. Please take note — finding a crossing is very difficult and is sometimes a matter of luck.s

Today, you’re off to the famous Serengeti National Park, home of the great migration. Your drive today is spectacular as you drive up the crater highlands, stopping at the rim for a birds-eye view of the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater. You'll continue, as you crest the hillside, spread out before you, as far as the eyes can see, is the vast Serengeti. Serengeti means “endless plains” in Kiswahili and this 6,900 sq. mile (18,000 sq. km) park is inhabited by more than 2 million large animals including more than a million wildebeest, hundreds of thousands of plains zebras, and Thomson’s gazelles. Large predators including lions, cheetahs, and hyenas are drawn to the area by this abundance of prey which migrate throughout the park. Many smaller animals like rock hyrax, bat-eared foxes, mongoose, honey badgers, jackals, monkeys, baboons, and African hares also inhabit the area along with nearly 500 species of birds.

Today, you will wake up very early to do an early morning safari before breakfast, to spot the animals when they are more active, and also to have a fantastic sunrise in front of you. The sunrise in the African savannah is one of the most beautiful experiences one can have. After the game drive, you'll return to the camp for brunch. In the afternoon, you'll transfer to
Ngorongoro is the 8th Natural Wonder of the World. With walls 2,000 ft high and a crater floor that spreads for 102 sq. miles, the crater is a virtual Noah’s Ark, inhabited by almost every species of wildlife indigenous to East Africa including the rare black rhino. The crater has the greatest concentration of wildlife on the planet. It contains a river, several swamps, a soda lake that, from the top, looks like steam, full of flamingoes, a forest, and open plains. Late afternoon, you will drive back to Arusha or the airport.
