Day 04

Ngorongoro Crater Safari and Return to Arusha

After an early morning breakfast, we will descend into the Ngorongoro Crater, as it is a great time to encounter different animals. On this day, we can enjoy a game drive across the crater and stop for a picnic lunch at the Ngoitokitok picnic site.

The Ngoitokitok spring is home to many hippos and migratory birds, offering guests a delightful view. The Ngorongoro Crater is home to some of the most powerful animals in Africa - the ferocious lion, the massive elephant, the stealthy leopard, the charging rhino, and the powerful water buffalo.

Within this incredible crater, you can expect to see playful zebras, lumbering hippos, swift wildebeest, and cackling hyenas. Additionally, there are flocks of graceful flamingos along Soda Lake, while hungry hawks and vultures circle the sky searching for their next meal from discarded carcasses. Beautiful storks, ibises, and cranes are popular water birds in the crater, a sight not to be missed.

After a delightful afternoon of animal sightings, we will finally begin our journey back to Arusha.
