There will be time to stop at a village of the Maasai if you wish to. Upon passing through the Naabi Hill Gate into the Serengeti, the scenery instantly turns into the profoundly well-known ‘endless plains’ of the park. On the way to the southeastern Seronera Region, renowned for its high concentration of lions, leopards, and cheetahs, enjoy a game drive. Your Seronera tented camp, right in the center of the country, lets you enjoy a starlight dinner after you check in.

Today, we explore the most important part of your safari, the Serengeti, taking a full day for its exploration. Since there are no long drives, your guide can track the wildlife, moving from the different regions of the central plains. The day starts with a game drive. This is the most important time for observing moving predators. You may go down the Seronera River valley looking for a leopard resting on the bloated branches of a sausage tree, scan the famous granitic kopjes for lion prides, or watch thousands of wildebeest and zebra grazing. You will enjoy the feeling of the heart of the bush when you are taking a picnic lunch. This adventure is expected to last the full day. You will come back to the camp after sunset, experiencing the wonder of one of the most important ecosystems in the world.

Once the morning activities have been wrapped up, you head to a camp for a well-earned mid-day breakfast. After breakfast, you check out the camp and start the long drive to the southeast. Since this is the last game drive you get to enjoy from the Serengeti, you have a good amount of views with the splendid scenery before you head back into the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. After this, you get to catch to the astonishing Ngorongoro Crater, which is at the rim of the Crater. Your first stop is the safari lodge, which is positioned at the rim of the Crater.
