Today we will descend into the crater, an enormous volcanic caldera formed around two and a half million years ago by the collapse of the now inactive volcano. A 20 km wide amphitheatre with 600-meter-high walls that is home to an incredible number of animals, including the “big five”: elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo, and rhinoceros. The latter, although present in the Serengeti, where it is rarely seen and only from a distance, can be easily observed in the crater. The spectacle continues with wildebeests, buffalos, cheetahs, zebras, hyenas and more, as well as a wide variety of birds, including thousands of pink flamingos, buzzards, hawks, ostriches and eagles.

In a way, the crater offers everything the animals need, a sort of paradise on earth, but it can also be a source of major and bloody struggles for survival. As an alternative to a picnic lunch, it is possible to organize lunch at the edge of the crater for an additional fee. In the late afternoon, return to camp, dinner, and overnight stay.

Breakfast and departure for the Serengeti. Upon arrival, transfer to the camp.

The camp is mobile and based on the route of the great migration: from December to March in the southern part; from June to early November in the northern part of the Serengeti.

Arrival at the camp, check-in and, after lunch, first photo safari. Return to camp in the late afternoon, dinner and overnight stay.

Picnic lunch during the safari or at the camp (at the discretion of the guests – to be agreed with the guide). Dinner and overnight stay at the camp.

Breakfast at the camp. In the morning, your driver/guide will take you to Serengeti South airstrip.
