• After breakfast, drive towards Ngorongoro Crater with a packed lunch. The crater is one of the largest intact volcanic calderas in the world, offering fabulous game viewing. Wildebeest, buffalo, gazelle, and zebra that depend on the open grasslands in the crater attract predators like the black-maned lion, the leopard, and hyena. The elephants found here are the lone males. A soda lake attracts water birds like flamingos and is a suitable place for predators to make their kill. Wildly beautiful as it is, it is not surprising that Ngorongoro Crater has been called a Garden of Eden.
