- Duration
- 4 Days
- Prices From:
- US$ 3,299
MODERATE | PRIVATE-GUIDED: Experience two of Tanzania’s and the world’s greatest game parks, Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti National Park with their abundance of fascinating wildlife. Also have a visit to the Olduvai Gorge with its amazing archaeological finds.
The Ngorongoro Conservation Area is a park in the north west of Tanzania and is often called ‘Africa’s Eden’ and the ’8th Natural Wonder of the World’. It contains an old volcano that has collapsed and formed a crater and the steep sides of the crater have become a natural enclosure for a wide variety of wildlife. Lions are in the highest density in the world in the crater so there is an excellent chance of seeing them. On arrival at Arusha airport, you will be taken to the Ngorongoro Crater where you will later have a tour of the crater with overnight accommodation here.
Drive the next morning to Serengeti National Park, possibly the most renowned park stretching north to Kenya and bordering Lake Victoria to the west. The name Serengeti comes from the Maasai language meaning 'endless plains'. It is also well known for its animal migration which takes place twice a year. En route, visit the Olduvai Gorge where the Leakeys discovered the remains of a 1.8 million year old skeleton, one of the distinct links of the human evolutionary chain. Fossils found here show that the area is one of the oldest sites of human habitation in the world. After lunch, you have a game drive in the Serengeti National Park. Spend 2 nights here. The following day, enjoy morning and afternoon game drives.
The next day, you are taken back to Arusha airport.
