the night in the heart of the Tanzanian bush.

We will take the opportunity to visit their hut, discover the jewellery that the women make and wear, and talk to the village chiefs.  The Serengeti is one of the largest and most magnificent parks in Africa. It is famous for being home to the "Big Five", the world's most prized animals: lion, leopard, elephant, black rhino, and buffalo. Together we will spend the day trying to find them.

 

DAY 4

When we wake up, we continue our exploration of the Serengeti: camera in hand, and

we spend the day enjoying the spectacle.  If you visit the park between January and February, you will also have the privilege of experiencing the start of the wildebeest migration, and the likelihood of witnessing hunting scenes is very high.

At nightfall, we return to the same camp as Day 3 to rest and enjoy a campfire.

We end our adventure with a visit to the Ngorongoro Crater.  It has the reputation of being the 8th wonder of the world and is considered a Garden of Eden.  Formed by the explosion of an active volcano as large as Kilimanjaro, it contains the largest concentration of animals in the world. Apart from giraffes, you will be able to see all the species found in northern Tanzania, even white rhinos!  At the end of the day's safari, we will return to Arusha to same hotel where your trip started.
