The Crater and the Serengeti is a fascinatingly beautiful and wild region and a unique sanctuary for African wildlife. Ngorongoro Crater is the world's largest extinct volcano and here you can view rhino, hippo, lion, elephant, hyena, buffalo, wildebeest, zebra, impala, monkey, ostrich and flamingo. On the lucky day you might also spy a cheetah. Then from there travel across the vast grasslands of the Serengeti which is part of a revolving stage with the Mara for the herds of wildebeest and zebra on their annual migration. The Serengeti is usually at its absolute best from late December to May.
