After leaving the park, you have several optional visits available at extra cost, either to Olduvai Gorge or a Maasai village, or both.
Continue onwards to your lodge for the night, situated near the crater or on the crater rim itself. Olduvai Gorge offers substantial evidence of the earliest signs of humankind, with rare hominid footprints preserved in solid rock from 3,600,000 years ago. There are also many authentic Maasai villages in the area to visit.
Here, you will have the chance to get to know authentic Maasai families and see what real life is like for the locals. You can visit homes, watch traditional dances, and purchase homemade jewelry.

Day 06

Ngorongoro Crater Safari and Transfer to Kilimanjaro Airport

Supported by a year-round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro Crater is home to a wide variety of animals, including herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants. Another major draw 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.
You will also visit Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner and one of the crater's main features. A large number of flamingos, hippos, and other water birds can usually be seen here.
