DAY 1 I NGORONGORO CRATER

Get up early, collect your picnic lunch boxes, sit back and enjoy the journey: the road winds over the Great Rift Valley, through the crater forest and ending at your final destination: the striking Ngorongoro Crater. The mix of forests, valleys, savannah, craters, lakes and swamps is home for a wide range of animals. This collapsed volcano is one of Tanzania’s most visited destinations, and it’s certainly not hard to see why.  One of Africa’s Seven Natural Wonders, the Ngorongoro Crater is home to the highest concentration of wildlife in Africa and is brimming with elephants, lions, buffaloes, hippos and even the rare black rhino. Your driver guide will explain to you about the Maasai people who cohabit with wild animals around. Lunch to be saved at the picnic site. Late afternoon we drive to the lodge/camp for evening leisure, dinner and overnight.

The endless plains and abundance of wildlife that call the Serengeti home are unsurpassed. ‘Serengeti’ comes from the Maasai language meaning ‘endless plains’ and this rightly describes it. Serengeti National Park is Africa’s most famous park due to the largest concentration of game on the continent and the migration of millions of wildebeest. The most impressive nature documentaries were shot in this beautiful park. With almost 15.000 km2 (6,000 sq. miles), Serengeti National Park is the second largest park in Tanzania. The captivating landscapes of the Serengeti National Park vary from savannahs with acacia trees and vast grasslands to rising mountains, lakes and swamps. Each area is unique and has its own atmosphere. Because of its natural beauty and variety of plants and animals the park is listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site. This place will definitely touch your soul. Late afternoon we drive to the lodge/camp for evening leisure, dinner and overnight.

DAY 3 I FULL DAY IN SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK

Today you enjoy a full day game drive at Serengeti National Park. With the help of your private driver guide, you will decide your schedule as you wish. Remember that the flexibility of having your private guide and private vehicle during a safari shows itself when you want to spend more time following a particular animal in its natural, undisturbed habitat, or when you want to lazy around a bit as you wait for the sun to engulf the horizon with its violet and fire colors or perhaps venture into a sunrise game drive to catch the memories of a morning safari with freshly made coffee and an endless horizon. Your private guide will tailor the experience to accommodate your major interest and passion for the day. If you like to watch wildlife from another perspective, we recommend you to go on a balloon safari. It is an amazing experience to drift silently above the plains with herds of wildlife.
