Day 06

Ngorongoro Crater Safari and Flight to Zanzibar

• After an early breakfast, we will descend over 600 meters into the crater to view wildlife on a half-day safari tour. Supported by a year-round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro Crater supports a vast variety of animals, including herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants. Another big drawcard of this picturesque national park is its dense population of predators, including lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the ever-elusive leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot.
• We will visit Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner, which is one of the main features of the crater. A large number of flamingos, hippos, and other water birds can usually be seen here.
• In the afternoon, after lunch, start driving to Arusha/Kilimanjaro Airport for your domestic flight to Zanzibar. Your guide will be at Abeid Amani Karume Airport to pick you up and take you to your hotel.
