Ngorongoro Crater

We will take you deep into the Ngorongoro Crater, which holds some of the world's most famous safari land. The crater is a large, unbroken, un-flooded caldera, formed when a giant volcano exploded and collapsed some three million years ago.

Get up early in the morning, and then descend into Ngorongoro Crater for a day of wildlife viewing. Early morning is the best time to glimpse big cats on the hunt. The Ngorongoro Crater is also sometimes called the 8th Wonder of the World and ‘the Garden of Eden’ due to its dazzling beauty and being a paradise for animals.

This crater always manages to take your breath away as you stand on its rim and look down at the 10-mile crater floor which is teeming with wildlife. There are also rhinos!
