Day 4

Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha

Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha

The Ngorongoro Crater is the best wildlife park in Tanzania.

This is due to its beautiful landscape being the crater and easier to see wildlife. After an early breakfast, you will head to the Ngorongoro viewpoint and look at this amazing view. The view is surreal and breathtaking. You will then proceed to descend the crater on a journey to find the black rhinos.

Rhinos are the hardest to spot in the beautiful crater as most animals will be easier to spot from this park due to it being a crater floor. The Ngorongoro Crater is the highlighted park in Tanzania. It is the most beautiful scenery and it is populated with a lot of animals, the crater itself is self-sufficient for the animals inside so they don’t migrate out of the crater.

After lunch, you will do a game drive and ascend the crater pack for the trip back to your hotel in Arusha.

Best Time To Visit June to October (Wildlife viewing is best)
