Ngorongoro Highlands to Serengeti National Park (Central)
Have a relaxed breakfast at the lodge and depart to Serengeti with a nice packed picnic lunch to go with,
Tanzania’s oldest and most popular national park, also a world heritage site and recently proclaimed as one of the seven wonders of Africa, the Serengeti is famed for its annual migration, when some 1: 5 million hooves pound the open plains, as more than 300,000 zebras and 500,000 Thomson’s gazelles join the wildebeest’s trek for fresh grazing. Yet even when the migration is quiet, the Serengeti offers arguably the most scintillating game-viewing in Africa: great herds of buffalo, smaller groups of elephant and giraffe, topi, kongoni, impala, and Grant’s gazelle, we are going to explore the plains, water holes, kopjes, and Rivers, for the great sighting of the big cats who lord the plains.

Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Accommodation: Mawe Tented Camp
Day 3:
Exploring the Serengeti National Park (central)
“Serengeti game viewing days”. After early breakfast in the mornings, you depart the Camp at 06:30 am, ready for full days of a game drive, and enjoy an amazing game drive. The great diversity of Serengeti wildlife is evident here—look for buffalo, hippopotami, elephants, giraffes, Thompson’s and Grant’s gazelle, hyenas, and lions. If you are here during the spectacular wildebeest migration (December-June), you will be more than astonished. In the late afternoon, we venture out in another game drive. Everywhere there are animals, monkeys, and, yes, birds…but look closely and you will be thrilled to see the huge jungle cats— lion, leopard, and cheetah—watching the world go by, and go by it does. Giraffes, gazelle, antelope, and massive buffaloes by their hundreds, baboons in the trees, and leopards camouflaged in bushes. This is the adventure of a lifetime, and nothing is quite so essentially ‘Safari’ as the traditional ‘bush sundowner,’ especially when it’s prepared by your guide in your presence.

Despite its small size, the Crater is a Big 5 country and the openness of the terrain means easy and rewarding game viewing. You will spend the day exploring the crater floor, stopping to picnic on the grasslands amidst the grazing herds. Formed by a massive volcanic eruption, the world’s largest intact and un-flooded caldera provides a year-round home to an astonishing 25,000 large mammals including black rhino, wildebeest, and zebra along with Africa’s densest concentrations of hyena.
