November 22nd - Day 2: Central Serengeti (Morning Game Drive) - Ngorongoro Crater, back to Arusha
After an early breakfast at your lodge in the Central Serengeti, you will check out and begin your journey toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. However, before leaving the Serengeti, you will enjoy a final en-route game drive through this iconic national park. This drive offers one last chance to spot Serengeti's diverse wildlife-perhaps catching sight of lions on the prowl, elephants moving through the plains, or grazing herds welcoming the new day.
You will then continue your scenic drive toward the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Africa's most remarkable natural wonders. Upon arrival, you will descend into the crater for a full-day game drive. The crater floor is home to an incredible concentration of wildlife, including the Big Five-lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, and leopard as well as numerous other species such as zebras, wildebeests, hyenas, flamingos, and more. Surrounded by the dramatic crater walls, this is one of the best places in East Africa to observe animals up close in a truly unique environment.
After an unforgettable day exploring the crater, you will begin your drive back to Arusha in the late afternoon. Though the journey is long, it is filled with beautiful landscapes, traditional Maasai villages, and time to reflect on the extraordinary wildlife encounters you've experienced. Upon arrival in Arusha in the evening, your safari adventure comes to an end.
