DAY 4:
SERENGETI TO NGORONGORO CRATER
After an early breakfast, we drive from the Serengeti to the Ngorongoro Crater. This unique crater was formed around two to three million years ago by the explosion of a large volcano, which then collapsed. It is known worldwide for its impressive geological beauty and as a nature reserve that is home to more than 27,000 wild animals.

Elephants, rhinos, buffaloes, lions and leopards, the famous “Big 5”, can be observed in the crater. If you are lucky, you may also spot the endangered black rhino, which occasionally appears in the open grasslands of the crater.

There are three large swamp areas in the crater, which means that migratory animals such as wildebeest and zebra can be found in the crater all year round.

After lunch and an extensive game drive in the crater, we drive to the lodge in the Karatu area for dinner and overnight.
