On your afternoon drive back through the magnificent Ngorongoro Highlands, you will have plenty of chances to see wildlife. You may see strong African elephants, elegant and tall giraffes, leaping gazelles and antelopes, and the most revered of all animal groups: the predators.

It is possible to observe slender cheetahs, timid leopards, hyenas on their daily hunt, and of course, the majestic lions.

You will spend the night and have dinner at Embalakai Ngorongoro Camp.

You will get an early start on your final day of safari. After a quick breakfast, you will begin your early descent into the crater floor at around 6:30 am. The Ngorongoro Crater is the largest intact, unfilled, inactive volcanic caldera in the world.

With a depth of more than 2,000 feet, it boasts a vast floor area of roughly 260 sq km. During the five to six-hour game drive on the crater floor, you will witness a great deal of animal activity.

It is advised to always have your camera ready. There are many African animals to be found here, including lions, hyenas, cheetahs, buffalo, hippos, and black rhinos.

After enjoying a picnic lunch at the lovely Hippo pool, you will begin a steep ascent to the top exit of the crater.

You will be driven to Arusha later on, where you can unwind at the hotel for the remainder of the day.

You will be driven to the airport or any other location you specify that is within the same driving distance as the airport, based on your schedule.
