After a hearty breakfast we leave and drive to the Northern section of Serengeti National Park, kick starting our exciting trip. Serengeti National Park is the oldest eco-system on the planet. It boasts a diversity of flora and fauna that is unavailable anywhere else on the globe. Here we are in for an exciting shooting spree beyond our imagination. Families of lions, leopards, cheetahs, wildebeests, zebras, hippos, vultures and elephants in the endless expanses of one of the most spectacular places on earth.

The day starts early in the morning with a game drive in the “endless plains” the Maasai name for Serengeti. We can opt for a full day game drive with packed lunch or return to the camp for lunch. Both options give us a good opportunity to explore the Park on which Grzimek based his famous documentary on “The Serengeti Shall Not Die”.

Today is another day to explore the Northern section of Serengeti. We will be rewarded with gorgeous landscapes of green rolling hills, acacia woodlands and savanna, incredible wildlife, and most importantly, the massive herds of wildebeest and zebra making dangerous crossing of the croc-infested Mara River during the Great Migration in June and July and again in September, October and November. This sector of the park is also home to the greatest concentration of elephants in the Serengeti, as well as good numbers of lion, leopard, cheetah and hyena and diverse resident animals such as giraffe, topi, eland and hippo.

After breakfast we drive to Central Serengeti area, the home to the legendary Seronera Valley. The Seronera is rich in lion, leopard and cheetah – hence it has been known as the Big Cat Capital of Africa. We will have a chance to photograph some leopards around the Seronera River, and lions on the kopjes (rocky hills). Other animals to spot in the area’s varied habitats of rivers, swamps, kopjes and grasslands include elephant, hippos and crocodiles in the rivers, buffaloes, impala, topi, jackals and bat-eared foxes.

The day starts early in the morning with yet another amazing opportunity to explore this wildlife sanctuary. Today maybe our lucky day to experience some thrilling hunts from the predators particularly lion, leopard and cheetah. The Central Serengeti is also studded with many rocky granite hills (kopjes) like the Simba Kopje, which inspired Pride Rock in the Disney Film, “The Lion King”. We also spot some lions lying on these rocks.  All meals and accommodation will be at Central Acacia Camp.

After breakfast we drive to Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Ngorongoro is definitely one of the natural Wonders of the World, known for all game one expects to see in East Africa. We will descend the Crater where we will find most of the wildlife ranging from leopard, cheetah, flocks of pink flamingoes, large groups of olive baboons, lions and spotted hyenas, huge old tuskers and some marvelous hippopotamuses. It’s also one of the best places to see the endangered black rhino.

After an early breakfast we can choose to descend to the crater floor for a game drive. At a scenic lake we will stop for a picnic lunch. In the afternoon, we climb back up the steep crater walls in 4x4 vehicles and drive to Kilimanjaro airport for an evening departure.

This marks the end of our safari where we have seen and photographed so many wildlife and scenic wonders that it will be hard to appreciate that all this has happened to us in just under two weeks!
