Ngorongoro Crater

Non-game-viewing travel time: 1.5 hours | Distance: 60 km

After breakfast, we descend 600 meters into the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater for a half-day morning game drive. This remarkable ecosystem is one of the most densely populated wildlife areas in Africa, home to approximately 30,000 animals, including some of Tanzania's last remaining black rhinos. With a constant water supply and abundant grazing, the crater sustains a diverse range of wildlife, such as wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and towering African elephants.

The crater is also renowned for its thriving predator population, including lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the elusive leopard, which often requires a trained eye to spot. We will enjoy a scenic picnic lunch within the crater before continuing our journey.
