Trip overview

Clients will visit mighty Serengeti National Park which plays host to Africa’s greatest wildlife spectacle, the great migration that takes place between Tanzania’s Serengeti ecosystem and Kenya’s Masai Mara National reserve.

Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most likely areas in Tanzania to see the endangered Black Rhino, as a small population is thriving in this idyllic and protected environment. It is currently one of the few areas where they continue to breed in the wild. Your chances of encountering leopard here are also good and fabulous black-manned lions. Many flamingos are also attracted to the soda waters of Lake Magadi.
