Distance: 70km, ETA: 1 hour Activities Time: 8 hours Activities: Bushmen Cultural Experience Very early in the morning we depart to the villages for a local hunting & gathering experience with Hadzabe (hunter-gatherer bushmen) and Datonga (blacksmiths) tribes. The bushmen rely on their foraging techniques to survive and you’ll need to be very attentive and at times very quiet, while they demonstrate their animal tracking skills and the use of locally made poisons in incapacitating their targets on which they depend for survival. We will later visit their homesteads, learn about their ways of life, medicinal plants and much more. Later in the evening we drive to Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

Accommodation:

• Mid range: Ngorogoro Tortilis Camp

Distance: 200km, ETA: 4 hours Wildlife Viewing Time: 6 hours Activities: Game Drives + Maasai Village Visit + Olduvai Gorge Descend very early morning after breakfast into the Ngorongoro Crater. The Ngorongoro Crater (19.2km of diameter, 610m deep, 304 sq km) is one of the most densely crowded wildlife areas in the world and is home to some of Tanzania’s last remaining black rhinos. Its huge population of predators is another big draw card to this picturesque crater. Supported by a year round water supply and fodder, this breathtaking oasis provides a haven for both predator and prey to live among grasslands. Optional: Visit the Olduvai Gorge, the cradle of man kind in Ngorongoro Conservation Area en-route to Serengeti National Park. As the day cools and the Serengeti sky is streaked by red, gold and orange hues, you may be surprised by the roar of a lion, a galloping giraffe, or the high pitched giggling of hyenas fighting over a kill. Enjoy game drives until around sunset.
