This five-day classic flies to the heart of Tanzania's wildlife country to explore two icons back-to-back: the Ngorongoro crater, a collapsed volcano whose floor crams in Africa's densest big-cat population, and the Serengeti's rolling grasslands in perpetual motion.
Staying in the parks themselves, you'll be on the game first and last of every day — the hours that matter.
Route difficulty
Relaxed pace with little or no sustained trekking.
