After breakfast, travel through the lush highlands of Karatu, where the Iraqw people cultivate maize, coffee, and wheat. Enjoy panoramic views as you pass the Ngorongoro Crater rim, a hint of tomorrow’s adventure.

Continue into the Serengeti National Park, the very heart of Africa’s wildlife kingdom. You’ve seen it in documentaries — now witness it live:

  • The Great Migration (seasonal)

  • Over 2 million antelope and zebras
