The park also has Klipspringer Antelope and Chanler’s Mountain Reedbuck–enjoy hot or picnic lunches before returning to the respective accommodation in the afternoon.
You will be picked up from your respective accommodation early in the morning and driven to the Masai Mara game reserve via the Great Rift Valley. There will be a brief stopover at the Rift Valley View Point, which offers a spectacular view of the valley floor and its beautiful landscape, as well as Narok town for a break and refueling. Arrive in time for lunch; eat at the Camp and relax before heading out on the afternoon game drive. After that, take an afternoon game drive through the park in search of animals, most notably the wildebeest migration from Tanzania’s Serengeti in July–October. To spot the wildebeests, Zebras, Lion, Cheetah, Elephant, and Buffalo, Thompson’s gazelle, hyena, black-backed and side-striped jackals, impala, bat-eared foxes, baboons, warthog, Thompson’s gazelle, Grant’s gazelle, waterbuck, reedbuck, hippo, crocodile, and elands
As you explore this magnificent Park, you can spend the entire day watching games. The Mara is a land of African legend: lions, elephants, giraffes, and a variety of gazelle and zebra species abound throughout the park. Cheetah, leopard, and, less frequently, rhino are also common sightings. The annual wildebeest migration, one of nature’s few remaining wildlife spectacles, takes place in the Mara from July to September, when big animals and their predators are expected to be in abundance. The reserve is home to several species of Bee-Eater, the flying rainbow that tops the list of Mara’s birds.
Breakfast at the hotel, then drive to the Isebania border, where you will enter Tanzania and take a game drive en route to the Serengeti National Park. The Serengeti National Park is the world’s last great wildlife refuge, home to an estimated three million large animals, the majority of which participate in a seasonal migration that is considered one of nature’s wonders. The Serengeti National Park covers 14,763 square kilometers, and the name Serengeti is derived from the Maasai word “siringet,” which means “endless plains.” dinner and overnight stay at A Lodge on a full-board basis
Breakfast early in the morning, then check out with a packed lunch for a full day of game drives in Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park, which is without a doubt the best in the country. Because of its abundance of resident animals, the Central Serengeti provides excellent game viewing all year. The Seronera River Valley in the Central Serengeti, in particular, is a “must see” on any safari, regardless of the month of travel. The dry season (June – November) is ideal for game viewing in the Central Serengeti because resident animals are more concentrated in the immediate area due to a lack of water on the plains. Impala, buffalo, hippo, warthog, topi, Giraffes and hartebeests Lions and leopards are among the resident carnivores. Later in the evening, return to a respective accommodation for relaxation, dinner, and overnight.
Set out for a full-day game in the Serengeti. For millions of years, the Serengeti’s lush plains have provided an ideal habitat for wildlife. This ancient ecosystem is still thriving, and herds of wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, and giraffes can be seen grazing. This is one of the best places on the planet to see lions napping in the shade. Also, leaping after a prey that has been marked or gnawing off a portion of their prey. all meals and overnight in a respective accommodation on a full-board basis
We will have a half-day game drive in the Serengeti today, followed by a drive to the Ngorongoro Crater Rim after lunch. Within a one-hour game drive of Seronera, there are several documented resident lion prides. During the dry season, resident prides begin to shift west and north in their territories, concentrating in the park’s central region. The dry season is the best time to see lions in the Central Serengeti. The Central Serengeti is also one of Africa’s best places to see the elusive leopard. You might be lucky enough to see this majestic cat in the branches of the sausage trees that line the banks of the Seronera river. Dinner and overnight at respective accommodation.
Breakfast, then drive to Ngorongoro Crater, where we descend into the crater with picnic lunch boxes for a game drive. The Ngorongoro Crater, often referred to as the world’s eighth natural wonder, is the world’s largest intact crater. The Ngorongoro volcano erupted and its walls collapsed about 2 million years ago. The volcano’s floor sank, forming a natural enclosure with 600m-high walls. Ngorongoro Crater is now over 19 kilometers wide and home to vast swaths of acacia forest, hippo-infested swamps, and open grasslands. Over 30,000 animals live in these different ecosystems, including elephants, warthogs, flamingos, magnificent birdlife, the rare black rhinoceros, and all predatory cats. Maasai cattle can also be seen grazing alongside buffalo and wildebeest. Later in the afternoon, ascend from the crater and drive back to Arusha.
