Day 05

Ngorongoro Crater Tour and Return to Arusha

At 6:30 a.m., descend into the crater after breakfast for a crater game tour. Return to Arusha later in the day, transfer to Kilimanjaro Airport, and return home.

The Ngorongoro Crater, sometimes referred to as the 8th natural wonder of the world, is the largest intact crater in the world. The Ngorongoro volcano erupted about 2 million years ago, and its walls collapsed. The volcano's floor sank, creating a natural enclosure with walls 600 meters high.

Today, at over 12 miles wide, the Ngorongoro Crater is full of large acacia forests, hippo-filled swamps, and open grasslands. These diverse habitats are home to more than 30,000 animals, including elephants, Cape squirrels, flamingos, rich birdlife, rare black rhinos, and all big cats. In addition to buffalo and wildebeest, you can see the Masai grazing cows.
