This safari day will be spent viewing incredible amounts of wildlife in the vast Serengeti plains. Morning and afternoon game drives are offered. The Serengeti is easily Tanzania’s most famous national park, also the largest, at 14,763 square kilometers of protected area that borders Kenya’s Masai Mara Game Park. It is most famous for its migrations! Over a million wildebeest and about 200,000 zebras flow south from the northern hills to the southern plains for the short rains every October and November. They, then, swirl west and north after the long rains in April, May and June. So strong is the ancient instinct to move that no drought, gorge or crocodile infested river can hold them back!

On the way, we will visit the Olduvai Gorge and Museum of Humankind, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Dr. Leakey discovered hominid species here of the first humans to walk upright and scientists still work to discover more fossils and artifacts. After lunch at the museum, we will go 2,000 feet up in the mountains to the top of the Ngorongoro crater rim then settle in at the Country Lodge in Karatu for the evening.
