The most famous spectacle are the tree – climbing lions which spend most of the day spread out along the branches of acacia trees, six to seven meters above the ground. Apart from wildlife, the spectacular view of the Great Rift Valley adds to the attraction of the Park’s ecosystem. As you enter the National Park gate checkpoint you will pass into the forest, home to the baboons and blue monkeys live among other species seen in a single day.

Day: 2
After breakfast, morning tour of Serengeti National Park with picnic lunch packet and in the afternoon transfer to Ngorongoro Crater tour en-route. After early breakfast, because Serengeti plains is a wide area, this day we start with a half-day tour en-route while we transfer you to Ngorongoro. The unique thing at Serengeti National Park is the annual migration, which starts from December to May through January in the south of the Park and from June to October to the west and to the north. Thousands of migrating wildebeest, which are the major center of attraction in Serengeti, cross the river to the northern side. Their movement starts in the months of May and June each year from south Serengeti till the end of December before they come back to re-occupy the Serengeti plains. In the afternoon after lunch transfer to Ngorongoro Crater, a natural amphitheater covering an area of about 260 sq km and is a home of up to 25,000 large mammals like elephants, wildebeest, zebras, giraffes, gazelles and carnivores like lions, leopards, cheater, hyena, hunting wild dogs, and jackals. Dinner and overnight at Ngorongoro Highlands.
Day 3: Ngorongoro
After breakfast, morning tour of the Ngorongoro Crater floor with picnic lunch packets. Ngorongoro Crater, where the law of the jungle is predominant and nature protected in its wildest and at a most exotic form, it is the World’s largest caldera (the largest with unbroken wall).
The Crater is notable for its physical beauty and the abundance of wildlife in and around it throughout the year – roundhouse to thousands of animals and birds from Egyptian geese to the rare black rhino, never venturing out of the Crater which include elephants, wildebeest, zebras, giraffes, buffalos, gazelles and carnivores like lions, leopards, cheater, hyena, hunting wild dogs, and jackals. To summarize, Ngorongoro Crater is a most stunning and attractive natural feature, which supports an enormous wealth of wildlife and contains the most visible population of vanishing black rhinoceros remaining in Tanzania. The Ngorongoro Conservation area has been proposed to be the 8th wonder of the World and its Crater has been declared a World heritage site. Mind you, a full day or two in the Crater where the show never stops can at least carter for your thirst, but because of the limited time, after late lunch you will be transferred to Arusha / Moshi or Kilimanjaro International Airport.
