After an early breakfast, embark on a long but breathtaking journey to the iconic Serengeti National Park. The vastness of the park, spanning 6,900 square miles (18,000 sq. km), will astound you as the endless plains seem to stretch infinitely to the horizon. This area is famous for the Great Migration, with 2 million wildebeests, numerous zebras, and various antelope species. It’s also a prime location for observing big cats and other predators, such as lions, cheetahs, and leopards, with notable scenes from television shows, like river crossings, being filmed here. Enjoy dinner and spend the night at a lodge of your choosing, catering to your preferences and budget.

Begin the day with an early wake-up call for a morning game drive, the best time to observe active wildlife and experience a stunning sunrise. After the game drive, enjoy a satisfying brunch back at the camp. Then, the journey continues to the remarkable Ngorongoro Crater, often referred to as the 8th wonder of the natural world. This vast crater spans 102 square miles and boasts 2,000-foot-high walls, creating a virtual Noah’s Ark that houses a diverse range of indigenous East African wildlife. It’s a rare place to spot the elusive black Rhino. The crater’s features include a river, swamps, a soda lake with numerous flamingos, a forest, and open plains. Ngorongoro is renowned for its enormous elephants with massive tusks. It’s a true natural wonder. For the night, you’ll stay at the Sopa Lodge or other lodges in the vicinity.
