Day 01
Ngorongoro Crater Game Drive Adventure
- You'll depart from Moshi or Arusha at the crack of dawn for the long but scenic drive to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
- Along the way, you'll pass bustling Maasai villages, sweeping plains dotted with acacia, and the occasional giraffe or wildebeest.
- We will proceed to Ngorongoro Crater for a game drive in the 8th natural wonder of the world, a unique and world-famous caldera with abundant wildlife. We will descend to the Ngorongoro Crater floor.
- From the comfort of your open-top vehicle, you will enjoy amazing panoramic views as you descend into the crater and, if you are lucky, you will see the Big Five. The caldera is home to more than 120 species of mammals. We will also visit saline lakes such as Lake Magadi, a magnet for flamingos and other water birds.
- We will see pools full of hippos and endangered East Africa's last black rhinos, as well as birds such as the secretary bird, white stork arriving from Europe during the wet season, kori bustards, crowned cranes, and ostriches.
- It is, for sure, a landscape of sheer beauty. Another big drawcard to this picturesque park is its dense population of predators, which includes lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the ever-elusive leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot.
- After the thrills and excitement of the day, you will have a picnic lunch in the park.
- Across five hours, you'll see the very best that Africa has to offer.
- In the late afternoon, with heads full of amazing memories, you'll return to Arusha or Moshi.
