Tarangire River is the only permanent water supply in the area.

Day 02 Karatu - Serengeti.

Serengeti National park is a local name that means "endless plains". The park has 5,700 sq. miles (15,000 sq. km) and for most of it, the plains will stretch to the horizon defying your senses and perception of distances. This park is the home of the Great Migration and home of over 2 million wildebeests, hundreds of thousands of zebras, and all kinds of antelopes. Large predators including lions, cheetahs, and hyenas are drawn to the area by this abundance of prey which migrates throughout the park. Many smaller animals like rock hyrax, bat-eared foxes, mongoose, honey badger, jackals, monkeys, baboons, and African hares also inhabit the area along with nearly 500 species of birds.

During lunchtime, you will be provided a lunch box, after which the safari will continue.

On this day we advise you to have your breakfast as early as you possibly can since it is best to leave the Camps very early so you can see the variety of animals that are only active during the morning hours.

Ngorongoro Crater is the world's largest inactive, intact and unfilled volcanic caldera and is often described as one of the wonders of the world. it is a famous national park because here you can find the greatest number of different animal species per square kilometer.

NOTE:

# You should be aware that this is wild nature, so the guide cannot make any guarantees on the presence of specific wild animals, but you can be sure he will do his best to find everything you're looking for! The Zanki team has its radio channel that the drivers use to communicate with other guides and collaborate on searches for rare species.

#Take into consideration that to see certain animals you will have to start your day early in the morning, and it may be cold outside, so you should not forget to pack some warm clothes. For example, in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area before and after sunset the temperature can fall to 0°C.
