Day 02

Ngorongoro Crater Game Drive and Return to Arusha

We begin early in the morning to make the most of the day, which combines a grand game drive with a picnic lunch inside the crater. Animals often move in and out of the crater because of its high walls, giving you the chance to spot every member of the Big Five in a single day. The Big Five includes buffalo, elephants, rhinos, lions, and leopards. Other wildlife you may expect to see includes zebras, hippos, wildebeest, and hyenas. The crater also supports a large bird population, including geese, storks, and vultures. You will also be delighted by the sight of lovely flamingos at Soda Lake.
