Day 02

Ngorongoro Crater Safari and Return to Moshi

  • After breakfast, drive to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA), a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

  • See the Rift Valley and spot animals such as elephants, buffalo, zebra, monkeys, and birds.

  • Head to the main feature of the NCA, the Ngorongoro Crater, a large, unbroken volcanic caldera. The crater was formed when a giant volcano exploded and collapsed on itself some two to three million years ago.

  • Enter the crater and witness a large concentration of wild animals. This is undoubtedly the best place to see black rhino in Tanzania, as well as magnificent black-maned males. There are also many colourful flamingoes and a variety of water birds that live here. Other game commonly sighted includes cheetahs, hyenas, and many other members of the antelope family.

Return to Moshi or Arusha after spending the day at the crater.
