Ngorongoro Crater Tour

Ngorongoro Crater Tour

When you first see Ngorongoro Crater, it looks like a forgotten world. The steep volcanic walls, including sweeping savannahs, pockets of acacia woodlands, and glistening lakes and swamps, conceal a pristine wilderness. The crater was created when a giant volcano exploded and collapsed in on itself two to three million years ago. The drive down into the crater is an adventure in itself, and when you reach the crater floor, you quickly find yourself amongst large numbers of wildebeests, zebras, gazelles, and more than 500 bird species. The crater provides the best chance of seeing the endangered black rhinos, which can sometimes be spotted in the open grasslands. After an entire afternoon inside the crater, you will head to your accommodation for dinner and an overnight stay in Karatu.
