Ngorongoro Crater Safari and Return to Arusha

• After breakfast, you will enter the crater for a full game drive with lunch boxes. Descend over 600 metres into Ngorongoro Crater, a breathtaking natural wonder. The Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority supports a gigantic diversity of animals due to its year-round water and food supply; this includes herds of wildebeest, buffalo, zebra, hippos, African elephants, eland, and warthogs.
• The park is also unique because of its dense population of predators such as lions, jackals, cheetahs, hyenas, and the mysterious, rarely spotted leopard.
