Serengeti Trail 2007
Perhaps the two most famous names in Africa – Serengeti and Ngorongoro – are yours to experience on this brief but fantastic journey. The Serengeti National Park is undoubtedly the most well known wildlife sanctuary in the world, unequalled for its natural beauty and biodiversity. With almost 15,000 sq km of endless rolling plains, the park is teeming with wildlife from the tiny dik-dik to the magnificent African elephant. Combined with the superb game viewing of the Ngorongoro Crater, this safari is truly a week to remember.
