Ngorongoro Crater Game Drive Safari

  • We will pick you up from your hotel after an early morning breakfast and begin our journey from Arusha to the Ngorongoro Crater, as this is the best time to see wildlife.
  • We will go on a game drive around the crater and enjoy a picnic lunch by a small lake within the park on this day.
