heart of a huge ecosystem with its various wildlife which can hardly be found anywhere else in the world. There is a reason why this location was chosen by father and son Grzimek for the movie „Serengeti shall not die“. There we will go on safari and have lunch at Seronera Wildlife Lodge in the park.

Continuing the journey we will enjoy the fantastic views of the mighty volcanic mountains of the highlands. Our route leads through dense mountain forests along the Ngorongoro Crater rib, offering fascinating views of the crater caldera.
Dinner and overnight stay at Marera Valley Lodge.
This region of Tanzania is unique in many respects. From the paleontological perspective it plays an important role due to Mary Leakey’s significant discovery of the origin of the first hominids in Oldupai leaving their marks 3 Billion years ago. In contrast to a traditional National Park the concept of Ngorongoro Conservation Area unites the interests of nature and humans, for example by permitting the Maasai the land use. Hence they can continue their ancestor’s way of life as travelling nomads. This breathtaking part of Africa (with an area of more than 8,500 km2) demonstrates that humans and animals can coexist peacefully.

Day 9: Karatu – Transfer to airport (B)
After breakfast we will bring you to the airport where you will continue your journey to Zanzibar for your beach holiday or you connect your onward flight back home.
