Day 4: Back to Arusha expand_more
Early at 6:00 am, descend in Ngorongoro Crater flow for a Game Drive.
Discover one of the wonders of the natural world, Ngorongoro is an extinct volcano that collapsed around 25 million years ago, forming a vast super bowl, where the largest permanent concentration of African game is now on display.
Enjoy the breathtaking views from the top of the crater wall. They are forested, but four-wheel-drive vehicles can take one down into this paradise of woodland, lake, river, swamp, and plain that shelter around 20,000 animals.
Be amazed at the sight of large grazing animals such as wildebeest, buffalo, gazelle and zebra that depend on the open grasslands in the crater can be seen here along with attacking predators like the black-maned lion, the leopard, and hyena.
Observe the lone male elephants found here. The reserve also has Fever Tree forest shelter monkeys, bushbuck, waterbuck, and a few black rhinos, that have taken refuge here.
A soda lake attracts water birds like flamingos and is a favourite place for predators to make their kill. Wildly beautiful as it is, it is not surprising that Ngorongoro Crater has been sometimes referred to as the Garden of Eden.
The game drives are done with a breakfast box and lunch box.
