Day 1

You'll be picked up from your Hotel in Arusha, drive to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area Along the way, you'll pass bustling Maasai villages and sweeping plains dotted with acacia and the occasional giraffe or wildebeest.

Upon arrival at the park, you'll sign in and then begin the winding descent into the caldera. The mist shrouded rainforests of the mountain are home to cape buffalo and baboon troupes, and the particularly lucky even spot a grazing elephant or a shy leopard moving through the dense green undergrowth. You'll stop at the Ngorongoro viewing area for a stunning view of the caldera's sheer scale.

The park is the best place in the northern circuit to see the black rhinoceros and the cape buffalo, but is home to the entirety of the Big Five. We'll also see large packs of hyenas as well as lesser known predators such as jackals and serval cats. In the late afternoon, with heads full of amazing memories, you'll return to your booked hotel in Arusha.
