Overview
This itinerary pairs two of Tanzania's best-known wildlife destinations: the Serengeti, home to the Great Migration and healthy populations of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle, and the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO-protected natural wonder and one of the most concentrated wildlife-viewing areas in Africa.
Both destinations are strong candidates for the Big Five, and pairing them in one itinerary gives a genuinely complete sense of Tanzania's wildlife range — the Serengeti's vast open plains alongside the crater's contained, dramatic caldera.
See our guide to the Serengeti's character, or contact us to book this itinerary.
