Ngorongoro Crater is our destination for today and we will have an early departure for this world renowned area. For many, this wildlife spectacle is the pinnacle of safari experiences and the Ngorongoro Crater boasts all of the 'Big 5', including a small population of the endangered black rhino. After lunch we head towards Lake Ndutu and our lodge, with the added bonus of a game drive in the Conservation Area.

Accommodation: Ndutu Safari Lodge or similar

Today we have a morning game driving around Lake Ndutu after breakfast. Lake Ndutu forms a shallow basin, where water accumulates from the nearby areas of slightly higher altitude. The water here is extremely saline, too saline for human consumption. However, Lake Ndutu becomes alive with animals during the migration because it is surrounded by the Ndutu woodlands and the short grass plains, which provide ample cover and food. We return to the lodge for lunch and will experience a guided game walk this afternoon.

Accommodation: Ndutu Safari Lodge or similar

This morning we will move further north towards the Seronera area of the Serengeti. The Serengeti is divided into three main areas: Seronera is the most central and accessible region and this is where the Park HQ is based, as well as most of the larger lodges and busier campsites. This is the part of the Serengeti that you will have seen in wildlife documentaries, characterised by the open plains of grassland, packed with animals. The Seronera River is the lifeblood of the Serengeti and this area is renowned for great game viewing all year round. It is also particularly good for lion, cheetah and leopard sightings.

We spend a full day game driving around the Serengeti today and depending on the time of year, your guide will take you to the best game viewing areas.
