As you begin this journey, you will also get to have a taste of rare African culture as part of your experience. You will visit Serengeti (largest park in Tanzania covering 14,500km and here you will look out for the famous wildebeest migration which is one of the wonders of the world and also get to see large prides of lions, elephants, zebras and buffalos. Bird watching will be done by the Seronera River as well as photography), Ngorongoro (largest crater in Africa covering 6,475km and home to large herds of zebras, wildebeests, warthogs as well as the “Big Five” which are leopards, rhinos, buffalos, elephants and lions).
At the climax of our trip we will head to Engaruka (an archeological site found on the slopes of Ngorongoro Crater currently inhabited by the Maasai.

You will enjoy activities such as traditional barbeque (nyama choma), preparation of traditional medicine and perform Maasai dances).
