1-Day-Trip-Safari

8 Days Safari

Tarangire Np / Lake Manyara Np/ Serengeti Np / Ngorongoro Crater / Ndutu

The Serengeti National Park is famous for good reason. It is the scene of the incredible annual migration of 1.5 million wildebeest, somehow sensing how to follow the greenest plains for survival. The Maasai, who have grazed their cattle here for millennia, call it 'the place where the land moves on forever'. Of course, the wildebeest share this astounding home with many other fascinating animals, including top predators and even a few rare black rhino.

Ngorongoro National Park Entirely deserving of its UNESCO world heritage site status, this mid-size park contains three volcanic craters, forests, gorges, bush land & savannah. The famous Ngorongoro crater, 300 million years old, 20km in diameter and 600m deep, is the world's largest caldera. The area boasts the oldest known hominid footprints from 3.6 million years ago, and now sets a precedent for how humans and wildlife can coexist harmoniously. The wildlife in this area is stunning, diverse and abundant, giving a great chance of spotting "the big 5".
