Early morning breakfast then depart for full-day game drives at the northern Serengeti near the Tanzania and Kenya border. The great migration of wildebeest is one of the impressive natural spectacles on earth as hundreds of thousands of wildebeest, zebra, and gazelle make their annual journey around the plains of the Serengeti between Kenya and Tanzania. August is prime time with the beasts attempting to cross the Mara River, a journey made perilous by the steep banks of the river and the hungry crocodiles that lurk in the water.

Early morning breakfast and then depart for full-day game drives in Kogatende. One of the most spectacular sights of the migration is when the herds gather to cross the Mara River from July through September. As the herds cross, crocodiles are lying in wait for any weak and feeble ungulates that can`t cope with the strong currents or lose their mothers.

Return to Central Serengeti after spending a few days in the northern part of the park bordering the Maasai Mara.

The Seronera River Valley, located in the south-central region of the park, is one of the most popular areas in the entire reserve.

After an early breakfast, you will descend over 600 meters into the crater to view wildlife. The 20 km wide Ngorongoro Crater was created by the collapse of a volcano and provided a space for elephants, leopards, rhinos, and lions to roam around the crater rim. It consists of a saline lake, marsh, plains, and forest and hosts a population of 25,000 animals – including wildebeests, zebras, buffaloes, hyenas, and leopards. The crater also offers an insight into the life of the local population: outside the crater, the Maasai people and their herds of cattle live in a protected area. Late afternoon transfer to Arusha.
