Enjoy a final morning game drive in Serengeti National Park, continuing on to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. 

The view from your lodge at the crater's rim is stunning, and the bird-life is ever-present in the surrounding forests.

Venture down to the crater floor for your final safari experience: there is an incredible concentration of wildlife bound
by the crater walls, including zebra, gazelle, impala, and cheetah.
