Ngorongoro Crater

Ngorongoro Crater

Following a delightful early morning breakfast, embark on an extraordinary 8-hour expedition to the Ngorongoro Crater, a geological marvel celebrated as one of the most remarkable Natural Wonders globally. This immense, unbroken caldera was shaped by the eruption and collapse of a colossal volcano approximately three million years ago.

Ngorongoro Crater harbors the highest concentration of large game animals in Africa, featuring the majestic Big Five and a diverse array of predators. It is an exceptional location, rightly acknowledged on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

As you descend into the crater, you'll enter a vast expanse brimming with wildlife. The steep crater walls rise from 400 to 610 meters above the crater floor, encompassing a base area of 264 square kilometers (with a diameter of 19 kilometers).

In the evening, your journey continues towards Ngare Lodge, where you'll indulge in an overnight stay, preparing for the adventures that await you on the following day.
