Taking photos of predators in the Serengeti requires patience and a bit of luck. Keep your camera ready and be prepared to capture the moment when predators are most active.

Take one last Serengeti drive at sunrise before leaving the plains behind. Travel through rolling savannah and stop at Olduvai Gorge, the famous archaeological site where human fossils were discovered. Continue into the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, arriving at the crater rim by evening. Your lodge offers sweeping views into the ancient volcanic caldera, a perfect prelude to tomorrow’s descent.

Wildlife Watching Tip

Early mornings and late afternoons are the best times for predator sightings. Listen for alarm calls from other animals - they often indicate a predator is nearby. The kopjes (rock formations) are excellent places to look for lions and leopards.

Start early and descend into the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The lush floor of this natural amphitheater is home to an incredible density of wildlife, including elephants, hippos, lions, flamingos, and the rare black rhino. Enjoy a picnic by the hippo pool before continuing your game drive. In the afternoon, ascend the rim and drive back to Arusha for departure.
