6-Day Kenya and Tanzania Standard Safari

After breakfast, be ready for an extensive full-day game drive to explore this so-called “Home of nature”. The Mara Reserve, north of Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park, hosts nature’s greatest spectacle - the Wildebeest Migration. Large herds of the wildebeests, gazelles, zebras, and antelopes are seen covering the endless plains of Mara. You will carry your lunch boxes with you for Lunch, and do a game drive till around 4-5 pm. Later, have an option of visiting the Maasai village, which is at a nearby camp, to learn and experience firsthand information on the daily living and practices of the Maasai community.

Check out of the camp after breakfast and head for the Serengeti. You will have a picnic lunch on this day, which will be packed for you at the Olmoran Tented Camp, Serengeti, located in northern Tanzania and extending to south-western Kenya; it spans some 30,000 km2 (12,000 sq mi). The Serengeti hosts the largest mammal migration in the world, which is one of the top natural travel wonders of the world. Serengeti is derived from the Maasai language, Maa; specifically, "Serengit" meaning "Endless Plains". Approximately 70 larger mammals and some 500 avifauna species are found there. This high diversity in terms of species is a function of diverse habitats ranging from riverine forests, swamps, kopjes, grasslands, and woodlands. Wildebeests, gazelles, zebras, and buffalo are some of the commonly found large mammals in the region. After your game drive, check in at camp.

Be prepared for an extensive full-day game drive, check out of the camp after breakfast, with your lunch boxes that will be provided by the camp. Continue to explore this great park till later on in the day, where you will return to the camp for dinner and overnight. The Serengeti Plains are a haven for wild animals.

Depart Serengeti immediately after breakfast, start your journey to Ngorongoro, the drive takes you through the plains and spectacular scenery of the hills surrounding the lake. A visit to Ngorongoro — which means ‘the place where it sank’ and is the world’s largest caldera (crater) not filled with water — in the Serengeti plains reveals this special relationship between wild animals and the Maasai. The Maasai and their cattle live side by side with the wild animals that occupy this area, some 8,292 square km. Geographically, there are three craters in the Ngorongoro — the Ngorongoro Crater, which covers 304 square kilometers with 19.2km in diameter and 610m depth; the Embakai Crater, which is filled with deep salt water; and the Olmoti Crater, whose rim is at 3,700m. After your game drive, check in at your Lodge.

Breakfast at the Lodge and depart for Ngorongoro JRO airport.
