Serengeti and Ngorongoro NP Safari

We combined a visit to the Serengeti with the Ngorongoro crater for an incredible safari experience. Our first night was spent camping in the Serengeti, the second of the edge of the crater rim. We had sturdy dome tents, perfect for a night in the wild and each camping area had an enclosed cooking area to keep our sausages from being snaffled by a lion!

The Ngorongoro crater is a conservation area in northern Tanzania and home Africa's 'big 5' (elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino). During our safari we saw herds of wildebeests and zebras grazing the plains, along with elephants, hippos, rhinos, lions, hyenas, fox, ostrich and much more. The scenery is dramatic and it feels amazing to be in a basin surrounded by so much wildlife.

- Don't forget an extra battery & SD card for the camera.

- Wrap up warm for morning safaris - it's pretty chilly!

- Wildlife viewing in the crater is excellent all year round

- The peak of the wet season is March & April, when it is also colder. The peak visiting time is July to March.

- June to October will give you the most sunshine
