Start with a sunrise game drive in the Seronera Valley to catch hunters on the move before enjoying a bush brunch. Later, enjoy a game drive en route to the crater rim for a restful evening.
Descend 650 metres into the world’s largest intact caldera for a half-day tour of this 'Garden of Eden,' home to the rare black rhino. After a picnic lunch on the crater floor, return to the Mto wa Mbu region for the night.
