As we head to Serengeti National Park from Ngorongoro there is an option to visit a Masai Village or the archaeological site of Olduvai Gorge where the Leakey’s made discoveries of ancient fossils of Man that led to the Evolution theory, then enter Serengeti via Naabi Gate by Mid day. At the gate or on top of a Kopje we take picnic lunch then go ahead with game drives in Serengeti until time to check in at the Lodge/ tented Camp for dinner and overnight. Overnight will be at Thorntree Camp or Kisura Serengeti Camp or Serengeti Kati Kati Camp. All meals included for the day.
