You will start your journey to Serengeti National Park. The name Serengeti originates from the Maasai word Siringitu which means endless plains. You will see why the Maasai gave this region this name as the grassland savannah stretches to the horizon in the south and is only interrupted by the so-called kopjes. These kopjes are bizarre rock formations formed by the weathering of granite outcrops. The plains are the perfect hunting grounds for leopards and other big cats. You will have a good chance to view these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat through the open roof of the vehicle. In the afternoon, you will reach your destination for the day, the Seronera Valley in the Central Serengeti area. You will camp for the night and stay in safari-styled tents enjoying a good meal in the middle of the Serengeti.

After lunch at a picnic site, you will drive in the direction of the Ngorongoro Crater. As soon as you have reached the edge of the crater, the caldera opens up before you and you will have a remarkable view of this impressive natural wonder. You will camp for the night on the crater's edge and enjoy the fantastic view as the sun goes down.
