The procession can be up to 10 kilometers (6 miles) long, very spectacular. During this period, it's more likely to see the lions hunting and the wildebeests fighting with the crocodiles in the Mara River.

Today you will follow your local English-speaking driver guide to explore Serengeti National Park. As we will stay here for a whole day, you're suggested to have a big breakfast in the morning. Serengeti National Park is one of the most famous wildlife sanctuaries in the world. The endless grassland is home to countless wildebeests, zebras, buffalos, elephants, giraffes, gazelles, antelopes and many other wild animals. Thousands of wildebeests head north from here to Masai Mara in search of food. Besides, there are also more than 500 species of birds inhabited here, especially the ostrich. 

At noon, you will be served some packed food for lunch. Then after enjoying the sunset view, we will return to the lodge for dinner.

Today, we are going to drive for about 4 hours to the 8th natural wonder of the world – Ngorongoro Crater. After arriving, we will go down to the bottom of the crater and start the exciting game viewing drive. Today's lunch will also be served as packed food. At sunset, we will check into the lodge.

Ngorongoro Crater is an extinct volcano, whose rich vegetation supports about 20,000 large mammals, including 20 or so black rhinoceros. The wildebeests here don't have to go out to find food like the wildebeests in Serengeti National Park. Its complete ecosystem makes it one of the new wonders of the world, known as the "Eden of Africa".

After breakfast, we will return to Kenya. After crossing Namanga, another border of the two countries, your Kenya English-speaking driver guide will meet you and directly transfer you to Amboseli National Park. The whole journey, which is about 300 kilometers (186 miles), takes 6 to 7 hours. On the way to the national park, the snow scene of Mount Kilimanjaro will gradually appear, which will be a visual enjoyment. It will be late afternoon after arrival. You may stay in the lodge to have a rest or take an afternoon game drive according to your energy.

The whole day will be devoted to Amboseli National Park, where it's easier to track the wild animals and see them hunting as there's no tall vegetation. In addition to travelling in the park to look for the animals, you will also be escorted to ascend to the sightseeing platform of the Observation Hill to overlook the wonders of Kilimanjaro's equatorial snow mountain, as well as the entire Amboseli National Park. Next to the sightseeing platform is a large wetland with white rhinos, hippos, buffalos, and many birds. The flocks of flamingos will be the highlight here. Besides, this is also a paradise for elephants. You can see herds of elephants moving slowly and enjoying their leisure day.

Lunch will be packed food and we will stay here until sunset. Afterwards, we will return to the lodge for dinner.
