Many of the cheetahs are so tame that they seek shelter from the hot sun under one's vehicle and several even climb onto the roof to get better view of prospective prey.
For the bird enthusiast, almost 500 species have been recorded. Among these are 16 species of eagle, plus many hawks and falcons, six species of vultures, eight species of storks, four of bustard (including the Kori bustard, the world's heaviest flying bird), and nine species of sun birds.

This odyssey blends the thrill of the road with the awe of safari adventures, ensuring a day of unparalleled exploration.
Day 4: Serengeti National Park
As you crest the hillside, spread out before you as far as the eyes can see, is the vast Serengeti. Serengeti means "endless plains" in Kiswahili and this 6,900 sq. mile (18,000 sq. km) park is inhabited by more than two million large animals, including more than a million wildebeest, hundreds of thousands of plains zebras, and Thomson's gazelles.
Large predators including lions, cheetahs, and hyenas are drawn to the area by this abundance of preys that migrate throughout the park. Many smaller animals like rock hyrax, bat-eared foxes, mongoose, honey badger, jackals, monkeys, baboons, and African hares also inhabit the area, along with nearly 500 species of birds.
There will also be an afternoon game drive enroute to the campsite.
Day 5: Serengeti to Ngorongoro
This day, you will wake up very early to do an early morning safari before breakfast, to spot the animals when they are more active and also to have a fantastic sunrise in front of you. The sunrise in the African Savannah is one of the most beautiful experiences that one can have.
After the game drive, return to the camp for brunch. In the afternoon, transfer to Ngorongoro, the eighth natural wonder of the world. With walls 2,000 ft high and a crater floor that spreads for 102 sq. miles, the crater is a virtual Noah's Ark, inhabited by almost every species of wildlife indigenous to East Africa, including the rare black rhino.
The crater has the greatest concentration of wildlife on the planet. It contains a river, several swamps, and soda lake that from the top, looks like steam. The are is also full of flamingoes, and has a forest as well as open plains. The large bull elephants that reside there have extremely large tusk, due to the rich mineral content of the volcanic soil and its grasses.
Day 6: Ngorongoro to Arusha
You will start the day very early and descend into the crater floor for an incredible morning of wildlife in one of the most stunning places on Earth. After the game drive, there will be time for a picnic lunch near the beautiful hippo lake.
