You will also watch local artisans make traditional wooden crafts, brew banana beer and carry on traditional farming practices. Then, get your eyes ready as you ascend the Great Rift Valley, making your way through the frontier town of Karatu and on to the breathtaking views of the Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area.

Ngorongoro Crater

Rise in the morning to a view from a storybook, looking out over the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Climb aboard your safari vehicles and descend 2,000 feet to the crater floor for a once in a lifetime game drive, surrounded by the densest population of big game in all of Africa. This will also be your best chance to catch a glimpse of the rare and endangered black rhinoceros!

Ngorongoro Conservation Area to Serengeti National Park

Continuing deeper into the savanna, make your way into the endless plains of Ndutu in the mighty Serengeti. En route, visit Olduvai Gorge, one of the most important paleoanthropological sites in the world, known for its immense significance as the "Cradle of Mankind," where you will see evidence of early human ancestors, learn about human evolution, and explore a landscape rich with fossils and stone tools. You’ll also visit a Maasai village where you’ll learn more about their culture and way of life.

As we enter the Serengeti, you'll see you first glimpses of the "endless plains" and begin seeing endless amounts of animals that call this one of a kind ecosystem, home.

Serengeti National Park

The wilderness and rhythm of the animals will dictate the course of our days as you traverse the gravel and two-track roads winding through the vast grass plains, woodland forests, kopjes (boulder fields) and wetlands to look for cheetahs, leopards, lions, cape buffalo and all the other incredible wildlife that inhabit the Serengeti plains. There will also be an optional sunrise hot air balloon ride available as an add on.

Serengeti National Park to Arusha

Once in town (depending on flight departure times) either head straight to Kilimanjaro International Airport, or if there is time, we will make a few stops for some last minute souvenir shopping.
