You will embark on a continuation of the safari towards the Serengeti, stopping for a picnic lunch. You will drive into the Serengeti in the afternoon and start your game drive en route as you drive towards the Northern Serengeti, where the herds will be congregating as they cross from the Masai Mara in Kenya to the Serengeti.

Depart the Serengeti with a game viewing drive en route

Morning: Set off on a game-viewing drive through the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The crater was formed between two and three million years ago, when a volcano exploded and then collapsed into itself; today, the crater spans about 100 square miles. The name of the crater—and the surrounding region—comes from the Maasai, who were inspired by the sound a cowbell makes, and fossils suggest that animal species have been on the land for at least three million years. The land has been occupied by various tribes of hunters and gatherers in recent millennia: The Mbulu and Datoga were here until the Maasai took over the land in the 19th century. No Europeans set foot in the crater until 1892, but today it is a popular travel destination for visitors from all over the world.

As we descend into the crater, we’ll discover the diverse flora and fauna that make up this vast expanse of highland plains, savanna, savanna woodlands, and forests. The crater is home to about 25,000 larger animals, among them Cape buffalo, rhinoceros, wildebeest, zebra, and an especially dense population of lions.

Lunch: Enjoy a boxed lunch in Ngorongoro Crater.
Afternoon: After lunch, we’ll begin our climb through the cloud forest and out of the crater floor and return to our lodge, where you can retire to your room or explore the lodge grounds on foot.

Dinner: At the lodge.

Evening: On your own, with the freedom to take in the tranquility of our surroundings.

Morning: Amboseli National Park. Set on the border of Tanzania and in the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro, Amboseli is a bird-watcher’s paradise: It shelters more than 400 bird species, including pelicans, flamingos, kingfishers, and ibis. We may see some of these avian wonders while we take in the view of the sweeping savanna.

And while the region’s birdlife is abundant, elephants are by far the kings of this park. Said to be among the largest in the country, Amboseli’s elephants are fond of the swamps: Here they share the cool waters with hippos that often hide from view beneath the papyrus. Along our drive, our experienced driver-guides will show us how to detect the elusive wildlife in our midst, in addition to pointing out other highlights of this vibrant ecosystem.

Perhaps we’ll glimpse some of Amboseli’s large wildebeest and Burchell’s zebra populations as we drive.

Lunch: Enjoy a packed lunch.

Afternoon: In the late afternoon, we’ll return to our lodge and have some time to settle in before dinner.
