Today, you will visit the Ngorongoro Crater, the world’s largest inactive, intact, and unfilled volcanic caldera, with its own ecosystem, home to a wide variety of wildlife, which stays within the crater.
At the end of the day, you will leave the Crater to travel to Serengeti National Park, where you will overnight in the central area of the park.
Today, you will do a full day game drive amid the never-ending plain grasslands of the central area of Serengeti National Park. “Serengeti” means endless plains in the local African language and watching the grassland stretch out as far as the eye can see and eventually merging with the sky at the horizon is an absolutely breath-taking view.
The overall land area of Serengeti measures 14,763 square kilometres and the park houses the glorious “Big 5” (elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion, and leopard). Along with the “Big 5”, a very pleasant sighting would be one of Africa’s most beautiful animals – the Impala. The legendary Serengeti
National Park is the most renowned safari destination for its incredible population of lions and leopards.
The central part of Serengeti – known as “Seronera” area is one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park. It features the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source to this area and therefore attracts wildlife well representative of most of the Serengeti’s species.
In Seronera, one must really look out for the many lion prides that thrive in this region. You must also look out for the Serengeti “Kopjes” which are massive boulders of granite standing in a sea of grass. They provide ample shelter to a large variety of flora and fauna.
A picnic lunch or lunch at the lodge of your choice will be done during the day long game drive. The eventful day comes to an end with dinner and a good night’s rest in the accommodation of your choice in Central Serengeti.
In the months between mid-June to September the Great Migration, for which Northern Tanzania is famous, can be found in this region. From midJune to September, the Mara River in this region offers the most dramatic river crossings of the Great Migration. Fierce, deep, and heavily rain fed, the
river takes an enormous toll on the migrating wildebeest.
Watching the wildebeest surging through the torrential flow, some drowning,and a few falling preys to lurking crocodiles is an unforgettable sight. If it’s your lucky day you will be able to witness this natural wonder and watch nature take its course.
Tracing the Great Migration, you might even move towards Lobo valley. The pristine Lobo valley is scattered with woodlands, plains, hills, and famous granite Kopjes.
It offers enormous amount of big cat game with lions, leopards, and cheetah in plenty. During the dry season the permanent water sources in the valley attract plenty of resident and migratory animals, resulting in excellent game viewing. During the full day game drive, you will have a stop where you can have your picnic lunch. The day comes to an end with a tasty dinner and a good rest in your choice of accommodation.
At the end of the day, you will drive to the lodge or tented camp of your preference, where you can relax and enjoy a nice dinner.
