Early breakfast and a short drive towards the Ngorongoro Area. The Ngorongoro Conservation Area is home to a number of famous attractions.

1) The Ngorongoro  Crater (Caldera) formed from a collapse of a volcano which, after the eruption, remained hollow beneath the rock and the mountain ceiling collapsed to form a very fertile volcanic soil crater.
The Crater is full with salt and fresh lakes and a huge variety of birds and the vast richness of the most dense mammals of all the world’s wildlife reserves. The crater is very protected and therefore the option to get off the paths is forbidden, so photography may not necessarily be from a very close distance, but still with the variety and the large number of animals, many of them will be very close to you.
The Crater is the only national park  where you might  see all the BIG 5
Elephants, lions, buffalo, leopards  and rhinos, but need some luck to see them all.

2)  The Masai tribe according to their history wandered from the Sinai Desert (Sinai in the Masai language it desert) along the Nile some stopped in Ethiopia and Sudan leaving relatives, continued to the Lake Victoria area and from there because the area was occupied they migrated to the vast pastures of Nairobi, Masai Mara,  Serengeti  and the Ngorongoro area all Maasai names. That is called until today the Massai Land. 
The Maasai tribes whose main occupation is the cattle herds when reached the Serengeti and Ngorongoro plains decided to stop and settle in the place. And why?
They found out that the Ngorongoro and South Serengeti plains having the most fertile grass, due to the volcanic eruption that enrich the soil with minerals, 
That is also the reason that the Gnu big migration herds and the Zebra have chosen the vast fertile plains of Ngorongoro and South Serengeti as the calving place, since the fertile grass enrich the milk the calves drink and make them healthier and stronger for the journey that will start on April to the North. 

 

 

3) The Big migration of Gnu and the Zebras;  From January – April most of them are in the South of Serengeti and in the vast Ngorongoro Plains
From February – mid march every year the calving period is taking place.
Around 500,000 young Gnu and 100,000 young Zebra are born
and this will be a majot part of your trip, game drive around the Ndutu lake off road where ever it takes to find the most spectacular spot for you to take the right shots.
