You will be collected at Manyara airstrip and driven with fellow guests to &Beyond Ngorongoro Crater Lodge.  (approx. 1 and a half hour road transfer). You will explore the crater this afternoon.

  Ngorongoro Crater is the largest unbroken caldera in the world. The cone is believed to have collapsed nearly two million years ago, and while the cone was standing, it could have been as tall, if not taller, than Mt. Kilimanjaro. The crater (1,800 feet deep and 102 square miles) is a microcosm of East African scenery with abundant wildlife – more than 25,000 larger animals, mostly zebra and wildebeest. This is also the best place in Tanzania to see magnificent black-maned lion and black rhino. A soda lake changes size depending on the rains that are the lifeline of this amazing land.

  Colorful flamingoes and more than 100 species of birds found here and not in the Serengeti, frequent the area. Patience may also reward you with glimpses of leopard, cheetah, hyena, jackal, elephant, warthog, buffalo, impala, buffalo, hartebeest, eland and lots of other antelopes. As you descend into the crater, you may see the local Maasai as they take their cattle down the steep walls of the crater.

  Built very discreetly on kopjes and wooded acacia trees, Migration Camp is located in the North Central Serengeti, overlooking the hippo filled Grumeti River. Migration Camp has 20 luxury tented lodges as well as one honeymoon suite that has its own private jacuzzi pool. The spacious rooms have a luxurious feeling to them. All of the comfortable white linen lined beds with modern facility tents have a verandah oriented westwards towards the spectacular Northern Serengeti sunset. Serengeti National Park (3,646,500 acres) is the jewel in the crown of Tanzania’s protected areas with over three million large mammals roaming its plains. The Serengeti has come to symbolize paradise to all, including the local Maasai, who have grazed their cattle on the vast grassy plains for generations. To the Maasai, it is Siringitu – “the place where the land goes on forever.”  Today, the Serengeti National Park, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and the Maasai Mara Game Reserve across the border in Kenya, protect the greatest and most varied collection of terrestrial wildlife on earth, and one of the last great migratory systems still intact.
