What we will see
We will be exploring the world’s most famous national park, the Serengeti. Its ecosystem supports the greatest remaining concentration of plains animals in Africa, including more than 3 million mammals. It is a sanctuary of an estimated 4 million different animals and birds! The most breathtaking event in the animal kingdom occurs in Serengeti annually: The Great Migration or The Race for Life!
​
We will see “The Cradle of Mankind", the Olduvai Gorge, where in 1959 Dr. Leakey discovered the over 1.8 million-year-old remains of early hominid “Zinj”.
​
We will also see a natural wonder of the world, the Ngorongoro Crater. It was declared a World Heritage Site. 3 million years ago it was an active volcano but its cone collapsed and formed a caldera. It is the largest unbroken caldera in the world. It is a place where you can see "The Big Five" in one day: Elephant, Buffalo, Lion, Leopard, & Rhinoceros.
