Days 1-4: Ngorongoro Crater *
Here, Entamanu defines their own Ngorongoro, off the beaten track, in Maasai territory. Following one of the world’s most stunning private drives, they bring you up to a dizzying edge of elemental Africa with panoramic views spinning forward into the Crater and back to the Serengeti plains. This is much more than a great vantage point for visiting the Crater, this is where they live the Ngorongoro life. There is surely no truer way to appreciate the magnitude and wonder of the Ngorongoro Crater, than from Entamanu where it's done entirely on your own terms and schedules.

Entamanu Ngorongoro (meaning ‘circle’ in Maa) is the only place in the world where you can enjoy views into both the Crater and the Serengeti. Offering an unspoiled, unparalleled experience of the Crater, and the land and culture that surrounds it. It is a place to escape to, from which to learn and understand  where the Crater fits as part of the wider environment.

Days 4-8: Serengeti *
Nomad's Kusini Serengeti offers a remarkable safari experience set against the breathtaking southwestern area of the Serengeti National Park.

At Kusini, guests can immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the Serengeti through a variety of unique activities. Daily game drives led by experienced Nomad guides who have been exploring these paths for decades. The region's diverse wildlife includes lions, elusive leopards, and large herds of elephants.

Migration (May + Jun) The Serengeti is perhaps the most famous African wilderness area, its name synonymous with the notion of safari for nearly a hundred years. This UNESCO World Heritage site covers 14,750 km2 (5,700 mi2) of premiere game viewing in Acacia woodlands, open grasslands, and undulating savannas interspersed with seasonal rivers. The park on the northern side borders the Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya and, together with several other smaller reserves and conservation areas, forms the larger Mara-Serengeti ecosystem.
