Day 4 - Serengeti - Ngorongoro


Enjoy an early morning game drive in Serengeti today! Start before sunrise by boarding your safari vehicle with your packed meals and set off for the game drive. At this time, most animals are active due to the cool temperature, so you are likely to spot a great deal of game, including a predator on a hunt. Afterwards, proceed with an en route game drive towards Ngorongoro Crater highlands and enjoy lunch on the way at the picnic site in Serengeti. You will arrive at your lodge in Ngorongoro in the late evening for relaxation and overnight.

After enjoying a hearty breakfast, you will board the safari vehicle and begin your journey descending into the crater. Ngorongoro is famed as a wildlife refuge and is the largest intact caldera in the world. A game drive in Ngorongoro provides the best opportunity to see the Big Five on a single game drive! The lush plains of the lake-studded crater floor and the towering 600m (2,000ft) cliffs that enclose it on all sides make for a dramatic panorama, making the crater one of the most photographed places in the world. In the afternoon, you will pause for a picnic lunch at the hippo pool picnic site before proceeding with the game drive.
