Day 03

Ngorongoro Crater Game Drive and Return to Moshi

  • We will have an early start to the day to ensure that we complete the itinerary, which includes a magnificent game drive with a picnic lunch in the crater. Animals infrequently migrate in and out of the crater due to its elevated walls. This means you are capable of spotting every member of the Big Five in one day. The Big Five comprises buffalo, elephants, rhinos, lions, and leopards. Some of the other wildlife that you can expect to see includes zebras, hippos, wildebeest, and hyenas.
  • The crater also features an extensive bird population, including geese, storks, and vultures.
  • You will be graced by lovely flamingos on the Soda Lake. Our guides are highly skilled and will impress you with their ability to track down animals. This is a skill that a book cannot teach you and that only a selected few can perform.
  • Your trip will come to an end in the late afternoon, and we will proceed to Moshi.
