This morning game drive offers a last chance to explore this breathtakingly beautiful and fertile area, often described as the "Garden of Eden." Keep a watchful eye for the Crater's renowned residents, including the highly endangered black rhino, majestic lions, and vast herds of zebra and wildebeest against a backdrop of stunning landscapes.

After leaving Olduvai we will soon be passing through multitudes of wildebeest en route to the renowned Ndutu Lodge, Tanzania, ideally situated under classic umbrella-thorn acacias in the heart of the southern Serengeti.
