Days 3 - 4: Ngorongoro Crater

In the morning after a leisurely breakfast you will drive around the edge of Ngorongoro Crater and down into the conservation area outside of the Serengeti National Park to Olduvai Camp.

Your two days on the edge of the Serengeti can be spent as you wish and your driver/guide will discuss each day with you as you go along. The norm is an early wake up with coffee/tea around 6am to depart on a pre-breakfast game drive at about 630am. Being so close to the equator Kenya’s sunrise and sunset varies by an hour at most throughout the year, the temperature can also be comparatively cold in the early mornings and evenings, so it is a good idea to dress in layers when you go out on a drive as the middle of the day will be hot and dry.

After a sumptuous breakfast, the middle of the day is yours to do with as you please, many people go back to their tents and have a shower, perhaps read and take a nap before lunch or play board games in the main mess/lounge area of camp. After lunch you have a few hours to relax again before heading out around 330/4pm on an afternoon game drive – perhaps follow up on the pride of lion you saw in the morning, or head out to look for an elusive leopard or cheetah. After the game drive is time for a well-deserved pre-dinner drink around the camp fire.

On the second day your driver/guide will take you to Olduvai Gorge Museum, the exhibits here are centered around the paleo-anthropological research and artifacts that have come from the surrounding area.
