Visit to the Ngorongoro Crater

We will head to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area after breakfast, one of the world’s most iconic safari sites, declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1978 and an International Biosphere Reserve in 1981.

The Ngorongoro Crater, located at 2,200 meters above sea level, is the largest uninterrupted caldera in the world and one of Africa’s natural wonders, with some 30,000 large mammals living there all year round, such as buffaloes, lions, elephants, cheetahs and rhinoceroses, as well as many bird species, such as flamingos, eagles, buzzards, ostriches and hawks.

Permits for game drives inside the Crater are valid for up to 6 hours.

Lake Magadi sits in the centre of the crater, with shallow waters that tend to dry up during the dry season, and is the best spot from which to observe flocks of flamingos and crowned cranes, as well as a large number of herbivores, especially great numbers of wildebeests and zebras, who drink here, attracting the presence of lions and hyenas.

We leave early in the morning for the park and return to the camp at about 6:30 pm.

Packed lunch will be served at the park.

The photo Safari continues after lunch along the road from NCA to Serengeti.

Dinner and overnight accommodation at tented camp in Seronera.

The enchanting Serengeti Park

We will visit the Serengeti National Park after breakfast; this extraordinary place where legend meets reality is the oldest and largest Tanzanian park, covering an area of 14,763 square kilometres, so much so that its name, of Masai origin, Siringet, means “Plain without borders”.

Never-ending plains await you, along with the great migration of herbivores, especially wildebeests and zebras, prides of lions, and other predators such as hyenas, cheetahs, leopards, jackals, crocodiles…

We leave for the park early in the morning and return to the lodge by 18:00.

Serengeti Park Wildlife

We will continue our discovery of the extraordinary Serengeti National Park after breakfast.

Its boundless prairies are occasionally interrupted by bizarre granite formations – kopjes, in whose cracks often form small pools of rainwater, attracting several small animals, including large predators such as lions who love to lay in them or hide in wait of a possible prey.

The rivers provide a habitat for crocodiles, hippos and many other water animals, as well as leopards, which often bask in the branches of the umbrella acacia found here.
We will leave for the park early in the morning and return to the lodge by 18:00.
Packed lunch will be served at the park.
The photo Safari continues after lunch along the road from Serengeti to the NCA, continuing with another move to Karatu.

After breakfast, we head to Tarangire National Park for a fascinating game drive.
Here, the swaying sylvan savannah, dotted with majestic baobabs, many of which are over 2,000 years old, is home to the largest elephant population in northern Tanzania.
And it is absolutely stunning to watch the animals when the dust blows over the dry plains.

The park is home to the highest wildlife concentration on the continent during the peak of the dry season.
