SERENGETI NATIONAL PARK
Africa's most famous game reserve covers an area of almost 15,000 square kilometres and is renowned for it's dense predator population and the annual wildebeest migration. The park is part of the the much larger Serengeti eco-system, which includes Kenya's Masai Mara Game Reserve and encompasses more than double this area. The greater part of the park is open grassland, patches of acacia woodland and isolated areas of granite rock outcrops called koppies. Huge herds of wildebeest and zebra can be found here along with smaller concentrations of Thomson's gazelle, Grant's gazelle, impala, kongoni, Kirk's dik dik, klipspringer and small numbers of roan, oryx, oribi, eland and waterbuck. There are also significant numbers of buffalo, giraffe and warthog. Elephants are relatively scarce on the open plains, more common in the northern areas and the western corridor. The few remaining black rhino are restricted to an inaccessible park of the park. The most popular animals to be found here in greater abundance than elsewhere on the northern circuit are the cats. Lion, cheetah and leopard may all be seen here along with other predators, such as spotted hyena, golden and black-backed jackals, wild cats and servals.

Day 3 NGORONGORO CONSERVATION AREA
The 8,300 square kilometre Ngorongoro Conservation Area is named after it's central feature, the Ngorongoro Crater, which is the world's largest intact volcanic caldera, and within which has evolved an extraordinary natural sanctuary for some of Africa's densest populations of large mammals. The crater floor itself is 260 square kilometres and, from the viewing points at the rim, the vast herds of wildebeest, buffalo and zebra look like mere ant formations winding their way across the grasslands below! The crater is also home to a great diversity of environments and you may encounter all of the large herbivores mentioned above, as well as lions, hyenas, jackals, male elephants (female and family groups tend to stay up on the higher slopes) and, in the forest around the crater, the occasional leopard and bushbuck. There is an active black rhino breeding project inside the crater and you may be lucky enough to spot some of these magnificent, shy beasts during your tour, but sightings are limited as breeding areas are strictly protected and usually closed to public access.

Day 4 Crater Visit Fee.
South African Resident.
Today, after an early breakfast, we descend to the crater floor. We explore this amazing area which is home to the Big Five and enjoy a picnic lunch on the Crater Floor. You are almost guaranteed to see 3 or 4 of the Big Five here, as well as hyena, hippo, and a myriad of smaller animals and birds. This is rightly one of the Natural Wonders of the World. Please note that permits may be changed to allow 6 hour visits, either in the morning or the afternoon - we will adjust our travel accordingly should this occur.
