After breakfast at Kon Tiki Tented Lodge your driver guide will pick you and start drive to experience the Northern Serengeti Wildebeest Migration is the most famous migration and is counted as one of the seven wonders of animals on earth. This wildebeest migration takes place on the extreme North of Serengeti National Park around the Lamai Triangle and it’s the largest and mass wildebeest migration. The migration happens from July to September as the wildebeest cross the Mara River to the Maasai Mara National Reserve of Kenya passing through the Serengeti Maasai Mara ecosystem. The Northern Serengeti wildebeest migration is more dramatic seeing wildebeest and other grazers throw themselves in water amidst the lager Nile Crocodiles in the water. This wildebeest migration is interesting that human cannot tell exact date of the migration but fellow animals especially the predators can camp there in time just waiting for the great opportunity to start hunting. At the time of migration every wildebeest has a dream to cross and survive yet the Crocodiles also count on the animals for their dinner and lunches hence making everything strange as they have to go for the survival for the fittest. Also the high cliffs of the rift valley escarpments makes the river deep and not easy to have a U-turn, once they have entered the river there no looking back. Other animals to see during the northern wildebeest migration are the elusive Leopard, Hippos, Hyrax, Mongoose, Birds and Reptiles. In October the wildebeest start to return back to the Serengeti area hence making the Mara Serengeti ecosystem busy, one can experience the wildebeest migration by visiting Serengeti in July and then return to back to Maasai Mara in October.

After morning breakfast you will continue with your safari to exit the Serengeti National Park with game on route toward to visit the Ngorongoro Conservation Area which has vast expanses of highland plains, savanna, savanna woodland and forests, from the plains of the Serengeti National Park in North-West, to the Eastern arm of the Great Rift Valley. The area has been subject to extensive archaeological research for over 60 years and has yielded a long sequence of evidence of human dynamics collectively extending over a span of almost 4 million years to the early modern era. This evidence includes fossilized footprints at Laetoli associated with the development of human bipedalism, a sequence of diverse evolving hominine species within Olduvai Gorge which range from Australopiths such as Zinjanthropus boisei to the Homo lineage that includes Homo habilis, Homo erectus and Homo sapiens; an early form of Homo sapiens at Lake Ndutu and in the Ngorongoro crater, remains the development of stone technology and the transition to the use of iron. Also the landscape of the area is seen to have the potential to reveal much more evidence concerning the rise of anatomically modern humans, modern behavior and human ecology.

Start early in the day to visit the Ngorongoro Crater, the world’s largest inactive, intact and unfilled volcanic caldera, formed when a huge volcano exploded and collapsed on itself. In the present days, however, far from being a destructive source of hot lava, it’s actually a natural paradise considered one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa, home to nearly 25 000 large animals, including black rhinoceros, buffaloes, hippos and big cats. The Park is a Classed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site; the tour will stop for lunch at a picnic place near a lake, and continue in the afternoon. After lunch you will continue with game drive until late afternoon where you will be transferred to your accommodation in Arusha city.
