The jewel in Ngorongoro’s crown is a deep, volcanic crater, the largest unflooded and unbroken caldera in the world. About 20kms across, 600 meters deep and 300 sq kms in area, the Ngorongoro Crater is a breathtaking natural wonder.

Enjoy your breakfast at leisure and depart for the northern part of Serengeti as we chess the wildebeest Migration. In the evening, we plan to be at the Mara river bank as we target the evening crossing of the great migration.  River crossings at Kogatende is guaranteed every day in from August to October as the mega herd settles into the area.  For August, September and October, game viewing up here is superb with river crossings pretty much guaranteed every day.  There is no distinct movement as the herds tend to cross back and forth over the river, following the rains and subsequent fresh grasses Accomodation: Mara Heritage Migration Camp
Start the day with an early breakfast coupled with an early morning river game drive to view the great migration. Get ready for a long day in the wilderness with picnic lunch. The park is well known for its healthy stock of other resident wildlife, particularly the “big five”, named for the five most prized trophies taken by hunters: Lion: The Serengeti is believed to hold the largest population of lions in Africa due in part to the abundance of prey species. More than 3,000 lions live in this ecosystem. African Leopard: these reclusive predators are commonly seen in the Seronera region but are present throughout the national park. In the evening we head back to the camp to retire the day. Accomodation: Mara Heritage Migration Camp
After breakfast, you will have another chance to experience the Mara River crossing before you slowly return to Central Serengeti, with an en-route game drive.  Everyday in the Serengeti plains is so unique and there is always plenty to explore.
