Serengeti National Park
After an early breakfast, we gear up and set off for the Ngorongoro Crater, the world's largest volcanic caldera. Stretching nearly 20km wide and 600m deep, this breathtaking caldera, formed from a volcanic explosion three million years ago, was once taller than Kilimanjaro. Known as a self-contained paradise, it boasts an incredible array of wildlife, including the Big Five. The numerous springs draw animals like wildebeest, gazelles, reedbuck, and over 500 bird species. Around 1400hrs, we make our way to the Serengeti, arriving at a luxury tented camp by 6:00 p.m. The Serengeti, meaning "Endless Plain" in Maasai, is Tanzania's largest park, home to diverse landscapes—grassy plains, swamps, lakes, savannahs, and mountains—teeming with extraordinary wildlife.

We’ll enjoy an early breakfast before heading out for our game drive around 6:30 AM, spending 6-7 hours exploring the vast Serengeti.
