Tour Plan
Arrive at the Kilimanjaro Intl. Airport to be met by our Safari driver guide who will be with you throughout the safari giving insightful tips for the safari. After airport formalities, drive to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area with a brief stopover at Olduvai Gorge and museum to see the site and remains of pre-historic man. The Ngorongoro crater was formed millions of years ago by the collapse of an extinct volcano which resulted in this 100 sq miles depression surrounded by a 2000ft volcanic rim which now contains forage and water supporting wildlife and birdlife. The area is also used by the local Maasai people in grazing their cattle herds. Check into the Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge for meals and overnight rest.
The whole day is spent exploring the crater for its flora and fauna where you are likely to see Elephants, Lions, Zebras, Buffalos, Waterbucks and many other species of birds. The is also the option of visiting a Maasai Village for a cultural experience before returning in the late afternoon to the lodge for dinner and overnight.
After breakfast, head to the seemingly endless plains of the Serengeti –a savannah grassland home to the grazing herds of Africa with Zebras, Wildebeests, Giraffesandvarious types of Antelopes which in turn attract predators and scavengers alike.
