Depending on the season and location, you may encounter elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, antelopes and a variety of predators. Serengeti is particularly renowned for the annual movement of wildebeest and zebra across the wider Serengeti–Mara ecosystem

Your guide will search for predators such as lions, cheetahs and leopards, while also looking for elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, hippos, zebras and wildebeest. The exact wildlife experience depends on the season and the location of the herds. Your experienced guide will choose areas that offer the best possible opportunities for wildlife viewing. Enjoy a picnic lunch in the park before continuing your afternoon game drive. As the afternoon progresses, return towards your accommodation while enjoying the changing colours of the Serengeti landscape.

After an early breakfast, depart Serengeti and travel towards the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The highlight of the day is a descent into the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater for a game drive. The crater is a vast volcanic caldera with a remarkable concentration of wildlife. The official Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority identifies the crater as one of the area's most popular game-drive destinations Enjoy a picnic lunch while surrounded by the spectacular crater scenery. After the game drive, ascend from the crater and begin your journey back to Arusha, arriving in the late afternoon or evening depending on road conditions and the pace of the safari.
