Dinner and overnight at Serengeti Seronera Camp Site.
Day 2: Full day Serengeti National Park
After breakfast, continue with both morning and afternoon game drives in Serengeti National Park. Remember this is the migration safari, so as Serengeti is very large so your game drives will depend on the move of the migrants, your guide knows very well how to locate the herds.
The Serengeti means endless plains in Maasai language. In the central plains there are carnivores like leopard, lion, hyena and cheetah. This park is normally the scene of the annual migration of wildebeest and zebra that occurs between the Kenyan Mara and the Serengeti.

Ngorongoro Crater: The largest unbroken caldera in the world, Ngorongoro has an area of 260 km and a depth of 610 m. The crater provides a protected habitat for thousands of mammals and birds. The entire day is spent on the crater floor viewing lion, hyena, wildebeest, zebra, black rhinoceros, and many species of small antelopes.
The Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area is located between the Serengeti and Lake Manyara. It is home to the famous Ngorongoro Crater which is the largest unbroken caldera in the world. The Crater is a spectacular setting in which to experience your African safari. Some scientists maintain that before it erupted, Ngorongoro Crater- the largest intact caldera in the world would have been higher than Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest point in Africa. It is one of the few places in Africa where you stand a very good chance of seeing the Big Five (lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino and elephant) in the course of a gamedrive.
The local Maasai have permission to graze their cattle on the crater floor, and it is not unusual to see Maasai cattle and buffalo grazing together with lion mere meters away. There are around 1,000 lions in the crater, approximately 20 black rhino, and the spectacular Lerai Forest is one of the best places in Africa to spot leopard.
