Visit the Ngorongoro Crater
Visit the Ngorongoro Crater
Today we have an early breakfast, at 6:30am and after we head towards Ngorongoro Crater. We arrive at around 10am. Upon reaching the crater rim, we descend into the vast crater itself for a 5-6 hours game drive. On one side there’s the Lerai Forest, a classic mountain-forest landscape with almost tropical characteristics. This is good elephant country, so keep your eyes peeled. By the side of the nearby swampland is what is sometimes called the "elephant graveyard". The mighty male tuskers at the end of their lives come to chew on the soft, swampland grasses once their teeth have failed them.
Buffalo, Thomson’s gazelle and eland are also present in numbers. Hippos can be found in pools and swampland, and the highland birdlife is colorful and plentiful around the waters. Flamingos can often be seen in Lake Magadi, which occupies part of the crater floor. In the late afternoon at around 4pm, ascend the crater and drive back to your hotel for dinner and overnight.
