Description

The Ngorongoro Conservation Area is home to the vast, volcanic Ngorongoro Crater and “Big 5” game (elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino). Huge herds of wildebeests and zebras traverse its plains during their annual migration. Livestock belonging to the semi-nomadic Masai tribe graze alongside wild animals. Hominin fossils found in the Olduvai Gorge date back millions of years. Explore Ngorongoro and Lake Manyara National park and get closer to nature in this 2-day safari tour!

Highlights
  • Explore Lake Manyara National Park, home to more than 350 bird species
  • Admire the lounging around lions in Manyara
  • Visit Ngorongoro Crater, the world's largest inactive, intact and unfilled volcanic caldera
  • Learn about the large number of wild animals in Ngorongoro
  • Day 1: Arusha to Lake Manyara expand_more
    • We will pick you in the morning from your hotel and take you to the Manyara Lake National Park. This park offers areas of dense woodland in which live the long-tailed blue monkeys as well as baboons, antelopes and gazelles and also approximately 500 elephants.  The Manyara National Park is also known for its lions which like to lounge around in trees – this behaviour is not common among large cats and makes for quite a sight.

    • The wildlife tour is followed at midday by a picnic in the Park, after which the tour continues with more chances to observe these fantastic animals.

    • Later in the day, you will leave the National Park and proceed to the cooler crater uplands, where you will overnight at Ngorongoro Farm House along with lunch and dinner.

  • Day 2: Lake Manyara National Park to Ngorongoro Conservation Area to Arusha expand_more
    • After breakfast, our safari continues with a trip to the Ngorongoro Crater, the world’s famed site. This is the world’s largest unflooded caldera - a feature formed by the collapse of land following a volcanic eruption. It is approximately 18km in diameter and the home to an estimated 25000 mammals. The caldera is truly amazing, but it is only when you have reached the crater floor and had a chance to look all around you, do realize just how breathtaking it is.

    • 2 days safari in Ngorongoro here, in a relatively small area (in African terms), you find practically the complete cross-section of East African wildlife. Alongside elephants, zebras, wildebeest and buffalo, you will find an array of antelopes, gazelles, hippopotami, warthogs, and hyena. There is also an excellent chance that you will also see leopards, lions and the black rhino. The black rhino is unfortunately threatened with extinction.

    • After lunch, there will be more time for wildlife spotting before it’s time to leave the Ngorongoro Crater and return to Arusha.
