Day 4: The Magnificent Natron
Embark on a diverse journey after breakfast, departing from the snowy vistas of Kilimanjaro to venture across the Longido Area towards Natron. Catch a breathtaking glimpse of the iconic Oldonyo Lengai en route to this seldom-visited yet stunningly arid landscape. Unwind for the evening upon arrival.
Day 5: Natron - Into the Northern Serengeti
Awaken to the remarkable Ramsar Site Lake Natron, renowned as one of the deadliest and saltiest lakes globally. Despite its lethal natron content, its glassy surfaces allure birds often ensnared and petrified. Despite its dangers, it's a breathtaking breeding ground for flamingos. Marvel at the scenic view of Oldonyo Lengai before escaping the heat as you journey to the legendary Serengeti, specifically the Northern Serengeti, for relaxation and an overnight stay.
Day 6: Venturing the Land of the Great Crossing
The Northern Serengeti, though less frequented, is renowned for its untouched vegetation, providing a spectacular haven for newly migrated wildebeest post-crossing. Witness the breathtaking stampede of wildebeest and zebras as they brave crocodile-filled rivers in search of greener pastures—a scene of a lifetime on an African safari.
Day 7: A Day in the African Mecca
After breakfast, explore another part of the Serengeti: the Central Serengeti. This area boasts an unparalleled abundance of big cats and serves as the permanent residence for a diverse array of wildlife, including antelopes, elephants, buffaloes, hippos, giraffes, and various bird species. Enjoy an unforgettable wildlife viewing experience and return to your lodge for dinner and an overnight stay.
Day 8: Get into the African Eden Garden Ngorongoro
Venture from the savannah plains to the Ngorongoro Highlands, aiming for the descent into the Ngorongoro Crater. Named after a Maasai term meaning "dark hole," the crater's origins stem from a millennium-old eruption. Hosting over 300 wildlife species, it's a natural marvel. Enjoy a game drive and a picnic at the hippo pool, then retire to Karatu for the night.
