The central portion of the Serengeti – known as the Seronera area is one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park. It features the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source to this area and therefore attracts wildlife well representative of most of the Serengeti’s species.

We are completely flexible with your preferences, and this day will be organized according to your wishes. Every day of the safari, your guide will discuss with you the best timings for you, including for the game drives and the wake-up and rest time.
During the off-season of the migration, one must look out for the many lion prides that thrive in this region. The interactions and survival of these lion prides provide an excellent game-viewing experience all year round. Along with a picnic lunch during the full-day game drive, the day will come to a close by around 5 PM. The long day comes to an end with a heavy dinner and a good night’s rest in your accommodation.
DAY 5
Ngorongoro Crater - Karatu
After breakfast, you will have a morning game drive in Serengeti National Park. Later, depart for Ngorongoro Crater with a picnic lunch. Ngorongoro Crater is the largest collapsed volcanic crater in the world and has fourteen kilometers of isolated natural beauty. Ngorongoro Crater is surrounded by a ring of extinct volcanoes, and the floor, dotted with watering holes, shelters some 30,000 animals.
The Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s largest inactive, intact, and unfilled volcanic caldera. The 6-hour game drive on the crater floor will show you a lot of animal action. Keeping the camera ready is recommended. The African elephant, buffalo, Black rhino, Hippos, Hyenas, Cheetahs, and Lions are found in plenty.
