are moving, making this the most exciting time to view
wildlife. Watch for elephant, zebra and wildebeest along
the saltpan trails. Swamps and springs form permanent
watering places for the wildlife in times of drought.
The
middle of the day is at leisure to relax before setting
off in the late afternoon for a game drive. This is
an ideal time of day to see predators as they begin
to stir from the shade and roam onto the plains in search
of prey.

Area is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for
its geological and ecological importance. Up to 12 miles
in diameter, the crater's grass prairies are an ideal
haven for animals, and you may see lion, elephant, hyena,
wildebeest and gazelle. Even the rare and elusive black
rhinoceros, one of Africa's most endangered species,
is a resident here. Following a picnic lunch in the
crater, visit a Masai Village to gain insight into this
fascinating culture.

to the gorge and enjoy a privately guided visit of this
renowned archaeological site.
From
here, continue your drive into the arid and spectacular
country of Serengeti National Park. The Serengeti –
deep in the heart of the largest and most diverse migration
corridor in the world. Wild beasts, creatures of every
size and description, flood the savannah in droves…herds
of mammoth elephant, the stately giraffe and the lumbering
rhino all mix together alongside the more diminutive
inhabitants…the delicate antelope, bulky wildebeest
and the comical warthog. And we hope to see it all!

Africa, this is more than you expected—and the
ideal backdrop for a hot air balloon expedition.
A
