Day 02

Ngorongoro Crater Game Drive and Return to Moshi

Early in the morning, after breakfast, you will depart for the Ngorongoro Crater, where you will enjoy a magnificent game drive with a picnic lunch inside the crater.

Animals infrequently migrate in and out of the crater because of its elevated walls. This means you can spot every member of the Big Five in one day. The lovely flamingos on Soda Lake will also grace you.

Our professional guides will help you track down hidden animals, as they are highly skilled at spotting wildlife. This is a skill that a book cannot teach and that only a selected few can perform.

Your trip will end in the late afternoon, and we will then proceed to Moshi. Arrangements for transportation to the airport or Arusha can be made on request. That will be the end of your safari.
