Then after breakfast, you will continue with a full day game drive in the plain, with a good chance to see large groups of wildebeest grazing in the endless grass plain. Also, it is a good time to see the killing of wildebeests by large predators.

You'll enjoy an early morning game drive in the Ndutu Area for your last chance to spend some time with the wildebeests. After a delicious lunch, you will set out back to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

Your afternoon drive takes you back through the breathtaking Ngorongoro Highlands, offering plenty of opportunities to spot animals. You’ll spot tall and graceful giraffes, jumping antelopes and gazelles, powerful African elephants, and the most respected group of animals: the predators.

You will have the chance to spot lean cheetahs and shy leopards, foraging hyenas, and last but not least, the king himself; the lion.
Your dinner and overnight stay will be on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater at Rhino Lodge.

Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha

On the last day of your safari, you will have an early start. Finishing up with a quick breakfast, you will make an early descent at around 6:30 am into the crater floor. The Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s largest inactive, intact, and unfilled volcanic caldera.

It has a massive floor of about 260 sq. km with a depth of over 2000 feet. The 5/6-hour game drive on the crater floor will show us a lot of animal action.

Keeping the camera ready is recommended. African elephants, buffalos, black rhinos, hippos, hyenas, cheetahs, and lions are found in plenty. Post the picnic lunch at the beautiful Hippo pool, you will begin a steep ascent to the top exit of the crater.

Later, you will be taken to Arusha where you can relax at the hotel and just for the next day.
