Descend into the iconic Ngorongoro Crater, a natural amphitheater teeming with lions, wildebeest, and gazelle. With a professional multi-lingual guide, customized 4x4 safari jeep, and a choice of accommodation levels to match your comfort, every detail is designed around you. The standout feature: a private safari where every moment is tailored, offering unrivaled flexibility and intimacy with Africa’s most spectacular wildlife.

After our picnic lunch, we set off again, searching for wildlife in this awe-inspiring park. Serengeti’s wonders evolve subtly as the day progresses.

The myriad animals and birds are the ‘stars of the show’ and Nature’s dramas can unfold at any time. Of course, the animals don’t work to any schedule, so we may find lion or leopard, elephant, and zebra, cheetah, and antelope at any time on our drives.

This morning your driver-guide will help you spot some more of the many species at Serengeti, teaching you about their fascinating habits and habitats. After a pleasant picnic lunch, it’s time to drive eastwards to visit another spectacular setting for Tanzania’s wildlife, the famous Ngorongoro Crater.
