Day 02

Ngorongoro Crater Game Drive and Return to Arusha

  • We will start early in the morning to ensure we complete the day's route, which combines a grand game drive with a picnic lunch in the crater. Animals often move in and out of the crater despite its high walls, which means you are likely to spot every member of the Big Five within one day. The Big Five include buffalo, elephants, rhinos, lions, and leopards. Other wildlife you can expect to see includes zebras, hippos, wildebeest, and hyenas. The crater also supports a large bird population, including geese, storks, and vultures.
  • You will be pleased by the view of lovely flamingos on Soda Lake. Our guides are highly professional and will impress you with their ability to track down animals. This is a skill that a book cannot teach and that only a select few can perform.
  • Your trip will come to an end in the late afternoon, and we will proceed back to Arusha.
