This park is well-known for its healthy stock of resident wildlife, particularly the Big Five: lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo.
   • Serengeti, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is home to around 200,000 zebras and 300,000 Thomson’s gazelles that join the wildebeests’ trek for fresh grazing. Listen to the exotic sounds of over 6 million hooves pounding the open plains of Serengeti – just like how you imagined African wildlife to be.
   • After a long day of safari, you will drive to your accommodation for evening leisure and overnight stay at Serengeti Serena Safari Lodge.

   • After breakfast, you will have a full-day game drive in Central Serengeti. Apart from the large mammals, Serengeti is also home to gaudy agama lizards and rock hyraxes scuffling around the surfaces of the park’s isolated granite kopjes. Wide varieties of dung beetles can be found, and around 500 bird species have been recorded, ranging from the outsized ostrich and bizarre secretary bird of the open grassland to the black eagles that soar effortlessly above the Lobo Hills.
   • Later in the evening, you’ll drive to the camp for evening leisure and an overnight stay in the lodge.

The Ngorongoro Crater is one of the world’s most densely crowded African wildlife areas. It is home to an estimated 30,000 animals, including some of Tanzania’s last remaining black rhino.
   • Supported by a year-round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro Crater supports a wide variety of animals, which include herds of wildebeest, zebras, buffalo, elands, warthogs, hippos, and giant African elephants. Another big drawcard to this picturesque national park is its dense predator population, including lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the ever-elusive leopards, which sometimes require a trained eye to spot.
