3 Days Safari: Serengeti and Ngorongoro

Serengeti National Park
The Serengeti National Park in Tanzania was established in 1952. It is home to the greatest wildlife spectacle on earth – the great migration of wildebeest and zebra. The resident population of lions, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, and birds is also impressive. There’s a wide variety of accommodation available, from luxury lodges to mobile camps.

Ngorongoro Crater
Definitely one of Tanzania’s must-see places – the landscape of this 829,200-hectare UNESCO World
Heritage Site ranges from short-grass plains, grazed by dazzles of zebra and large herds of
wildebeest, to placid crater lakes and volcanic peaks, wreathed in cloud.

The famous Ngorongoro Crater is one of the new Seven Natural Wonders of Africa and the feature from
which the Ngorongoro Conservation Area takes its name, The world’s largest inactive and empty volcanic
caldera, formed 2 to 3 million years ago. Around 25,000 large animals live in the 30,000-hectare crater,
including lions, black rhinos, and elephants.

Often called the eighth natural wonder of the world, the Ngorongoro Crater is the largest intact crater in the world.

About 2 million years ago the Ngorongoro volcano erupted, and its walls collapsed. The volcano floor sank to create a natural enclosure with its 600m tall walls. Now, at over 19 kilometers wide,
Ngorongoro Crater is filled with great areas of acacia forest, hippo-filled swamps, and open grasslands.
These different habitats contain over 30,000 animals including elephants, warthogs, flamingoes,
magnificent birdlife, the rare black rhinoceros, and all the predatory cats. The Maasai can also be seen
grazing their cattle alongside the buffalo and wildebeest.
