Your first game drive begins immediately after entering the park. Expect to encounter large elephant families, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, wildebeests, impalas, waterbucks, and graceful gazelles.

Because wildlife remains inside the crater year-round, this is one of the best places in Africa to observe the Big Five in a single day. Search for endangered black rhinos, massive bull elephants, lions, buffaloes, hippos, spotted hyenas, jackals, flamingos, and countless other species.

Enjoy a picnic lunch beside the hippo pool before continuing your safari toward Serengeti National Park. As you leave the crater behind, the scenery gradually changes into the endless golden plains that made Serengeti famous.

Your guide will continually adjust the route according to recent wildlife sightings, maximizing your opportunities for unforgettable encounters.
