4days/3Nights Driving Safari

Ngorongoro Crater | Serengeti

Day 2: After breakfast depart for Serengeti park with picnic lunch boxes, game drives en route towards  Serengeti park game , dinner and overnight at Seronera Camp Site /Seronera Wildlife Lodge http://www.hotelsandlodges-tanzania.com/properties/en/seronera_index.php This land is justifiably famous for its huge concentrations of wildlife, especially the big cats, as well as being the stomping ground of the Great Migration, a massive accumulation of 1.5 million wildebeest, 200,000 zebras and 350,000 gazelles stretching their legs over 1,200 miles in an annual race to find enough water and green grass for their survival. The National Park is broadly divided into three distinct areas, the Seronera Valley and Seronera River, the Western Corridor and the Northern Lobo area that extends northwards through the Lamai Wedge to the Maasai Mara. Most visitors enter the Serengeti through the southern Naabi Hill Gate, which opens onto the Seronera Valley; a vibrant wildlife area at the  heart of the Serengeti.   Day 3 : Afterbreakfast Serengeti park game drives, hot lunch at camp, then drive to  Ngorongoro for dinner and overnight at Simba Camp Site/Ngorongoro Wildlife Lodge http://www.hotelsandlodges-tanzania.com/properties/en/ngorongoro_index.php Ngorongoro is a fascinating and unusual Conservation Area which includes the Ngorongoro Crater at its centre, and then extends through the Crater Highlands, in which local tribes are permitted to maintain their traditional  lifestyles in as natural environment as possible. This extraordinary volcanic landscape is rich and fertile, with stunning craters and lakes, and the high altitude creates a malaria-free micro climate. The crater is said to have the most dense concentration of wildlife in Africa. As such, Ngorongoro Crater has achieved world renown, and attracts a growing number of visitors each year. Even if time is limited this natural but accessibly small caldera ensures a rewarding safari. -The Ngorongoro Crater is the world's largest intact caldera in an exceptional geographical position, forming a spectacular bowl of about 265 sq km with sides up to 600m deep. It is the stalking ground of 20 - 30,000 wild animals at any one time. The crater floor consists of a number of ecological environments that include grassland, swamps, forests and Lake Makat, a central soda lake  filled by the Munge river. All these various habitats attract various wildlife to drink, wallow, graze, hide or climb. -Although animals are free to move in and out of this contained environment, the rich volcanic soil, lush forests and spring source lakes on the crater  floor tend to incline both grazers and predators to remain throughout the year. -Ngorongoro Crater is also presently one of the most likely areas in Tanzania to see the endangered Black Rhino, as a small population are  thriving in this idyllic and protected environment one of the only areas  where they continue to breed in the wild. -The Crater rim, over 2,200 metres high, touches swathes of clouds for most days of the year, with cool high altitude vapours that seem to bring a clean  lightness to the air, and also a chill. These highlands wake up to a misty  fog in most months.
