Day 6

Game Drive in Ngorongoro Crater

Game Drive in Ngorongoro Crater

Early this morning you'll join us on a guided game drive through Ngorongoro Crater. Apart from looking for the amazing wildlife (Lions, Black Rhinos, spotted Hyenas and more), your guide will show you the many beautiful corners of the crater floor.

Your first sight of Ngorongoro Crater is likely not one you’ll easily forget. As seen from the crater rim, this natural bowl, both vast and intimate, is one of Africa’s most beautiful natural features, stretching 19 green kilometers (12 miles) from one side to the other. Down in the crater itself, you’ll explore an astonishingly rich, selfcontained ecosystem that is protected by high crater walls. Here, Lions and Hyenas hunt Wildebeest and Grant’s Gazelle within sight of Elephants and Black Rhinos. Your day spent here will reveal a surprising variety of habitats, from the Lereal Forest and salty Lake Magadi to the plains that rise and fall gently all across the valley floor.
