With wildebeest and many antelope species (which include zebra, Thomson’s gazelle, impala, topi, Grant’s gazelle, kongoni, eland, Kirk’s dik-dik, klipspringer, roan, oryx, oribi, waterbuck, buffalo, giraffe, and warthog), the Serengeti is sure to attract prey such as lion, leopard, cheetah, hyena, golden jackals and bat-eared foxes. Elephants are relatively scarce and the few remaining black rhinoceros are restricted to the Moru Koppies area.

After an early breakfast, we drive south to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA), home to the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater, where we descend into the crater for a full day tour with packed lunches. The Ngorongoro Crater is the ‘8th Natural Wonder of the World,’ and a visit to the crater is one of the main draw cards for visitors coming to Tanzania, a definite world-class attraction. It was formed some 2.5 million years ago from a volcanic mountain sinking due to inactivity, and was initially thought to be higher than Tanzania’s famous Kilimanjaro. The crater, which is actually caldera, has evolved into a unique and integral part of Tanzania’s eco-system. Views from within and from the rim are breathtaking .The crater houses 30,000 animals and a large variety of birds, which rarely move from the area due to the availability of water through wet and dry seasons. Ascend the crater rim for dinner and overnight stay at Hhando Coffee Lodge.
