Herbivores abound, including zebras, wildebeest, and giraffes. The more elusive predators are the lions, cheetahs, and leopards. Later, we will have lunch at the river picnic area and take in the lovely river view and wildlife. Watch out for baby baboons and monkeys that may try to frighten you.
After breakfast, we will travel through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area on a six-hour drive to the Serengeti. We will briefly stop at the gate to admire the magnificent crater for about twenty minutes. In the late afternoon, we will reach Seronera, the central part of the Serengeti, where we will have a picnic lunch and then embark on a game drive. Later in the evening, we will continue the game drive to witness the Serengeti sunset and observe the natural wildlife up close, hoping to witness a predator hunt.
We will start the day with an early morning game drive and have a packed picnic lunch after breakfast. The main highlight of the game drive will be the Mara River, where you might spot herds of migratory animals crossing the river.

We plan to spend the night on the crater's edge, where you will have dinner and stay at your lodging.
The breathtaking sunrise views over the crater's edge are a rewarding sight for early risers. After a hearty breakfast, you will drive down the adventurous track into the crater. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the Seven Wonders of Africa and boasts one of the most incredible ecosystems on Earth. It was formed millions of years ago during a massive volcano explosion. The crater is 610m (2,000ft) deep and covers roughly 260km² (100mi²). Due to its dense animal population of approximately 25,000, the crater offers the best game viewing of all the parks in Tanzania! In just a matter of minutes, you will see wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, elephants, and some of the more than 500 bird species in the area. With a bit of luck, you might catch a glimpse of the endangered black rhino through the grass. After the game drives in Ngorongoro Crater, you will drive back to Arusha for dinner and overnight.
