Day 01
Ngorongoro Crater Game Drive Safari
- Your guide will pick you up from your Arusha/Moshi accommodation at 06:00 am and brief you on what will be covered during the day. The 4:30-hour journey from Moshi opens your eyes to the beauty and colour of the Tanzanian land. The road first passes through the town of Moshi, heading toward Arusha, where you will get to see everyday Tanzanian life.
- Afterwards, you will continue through coffee plantations, followed by Maasai plains, where you might even spot Maasai herders with their flocks of cows and goats searching for better pastures.
- Your Africa Natural Tours guide will keep you informed about all the important details and what to expect throughout the day. Ngorongoro Crater is home to many elephants, so keep your eyes open for these large mammals.
- Spot a high number of animals, including 15,000 wildebeest, 9,000 zebras, 400 hyenas, about 120 lions, and around 50 highly endangered black rhinos. The crater also has a good number of birds, including the augur buzzard, rufous-tailed weaver, fan-tailed widowbird, and anteater chat. The water sources in the crater may be one of the reasons the animals remain concentrated in the area.
- After a long day of game viewing, return to Moshi/Arusha for dinner and a night's rest at your hotel.
