Day 3: Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro Crater expand_more
Start the day with an early morning game drive before heading to Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Ngorongoro is a special place in that it is a Conservation Area, not a National Park; this means that the whole area is managed for both the animals and the local Masai people who graze their cattle alongside the indigenous wildlife.
During the drive in Ngorongoro, glimpse the Masai way of life.
After stopping at the entrance gate, where there is a chance to learn more about this fascinating volcanic landscape, we will drive around the rim of the Crater itself, and from here, we can look down and see the herd of wildebeest or buffalos. This truly world-class attraction is also known as the '8th Wonder of the World'.
Dinner and overnight stay at the rustic Ngorongoro Rhino Lodge.

Day 4: Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha expand_more
After breakfast, finally, we descend into the crater. The crater walls provide a natural sanctuary for the animals, which means there is plenty to see: lions, elephants, buffalo, rhino and leopards (if you are lucky). The only animal you won’t see in here is a giraffe, whose long legs are unable to cope with the steeps sides of the crater.
In the late afternoon, we travel just outside of Ngorongoro Conservation Area back to Arusha.
