After breakfast at your campsite, you will drive straight to Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA) and descend down the crater which reaches a depth of over 600 meters (1,970 feet).
The Ngorongoro Crater is a breathtaking natural wonder and a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in northern Tanzania. Often referred to as the "Eighth Wonder of the World," the Ngorongoro Crater is the world's largest unbroken, unflooded volcanic caldera. This geological marvel was formed around three million years ago when a massive volcano, possibly even taller than Mount Kilimanjaro, erupted and collapsed on itself. It's often described as a "natural zoo" due to the high concentration of animals within its confines. The crater is home to the "Big Five" – lions, elephants, buffalo, leopards, and rhinoceros.
After having lunch, you will do a final game drive and head straight to Arusha. If you would like to stay at a home stay, we can arrange that for you or if you fly, we will drive to the airport.
