Approximately a 3 ½ Hour Drive

7:30 am – Get ready to board your private safari vehicle. Your African Vulture Safaris driver/guide will pick you at your hotel or the airport get your safari started.

We will journey along the Masai country, keep an eye out for these indigenous people, tending to their cattle as we head for the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

Standing on the crater rim at Ngorongoro, you know you’re entering another world – one that has kept itself apart from the rest of the planet for thousands of years. Descending into this blue/green ecosystem, we’ll enter a rare space born of an amazing density and variety of wildlife. Lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo, rhino, zebra, and more have made this extinct volcano their home for eons.

After a very full day here, we’ll ascend back to the top where a special treat awaits… a spectacular sunset at the crater’s rim.

Dinner and overnight at camp/lodge.

An approximate of 3 Hours’ Drive

Today we’re headed to Tanzania’s largest reserve, the Serengeti National Park. But along our route, we’ll stop at a very special place – the Olduvai Gorge. Immense troves of fossilized remnants from ancient man have been discovered here, including vast numbers of tools. These have provided an invaluable record of human development. It’s an eye-opening experience.

But the great Serengeti is next – it’s a great treeless plain, extending to the horizon, filled with wildebeest, gazelle, zebra, impalas, and exciting populations of lions, leopards, and cheetahs.

We’ll begin our game drives over the vast spaces here looking for wildlife, like the over 50,000 buffalo filling these wide-open grasslands.

Dinner and overnight at camp/lodge.

Plenty of time today to get to know the Serengeti, with unlimited game drives and time for relaxation at your accommodation. The great park has been called one of the “Seven Natural Wonders of Africa” because of its wildlife by the millions and its brilliant display of over 500 colorful bird species.

We’ll take a lunch break to rest and refresh between game drives and then set out tracking for big and small game like honey badger, wild dog, monkey, and baboon.

We’ll also explore the park’s rivers and may even find some unexpected wildlife like hippos and crocodiles.

Dinner and overnight at camp/lodge
