About 2 million years ago, the Ngorongoro volcano erupted, and its walls collapsed. The volcano floor sank to create a natural enclosure with its 600m tall walls. Now, over 19km wide, Ngorongoro Crater is filled with great areas of acacia forest, hippo-filled swamps, and open grasslands.
These different habitats contain over 30,000 animals including elephants, warthogs, flamingoes, magnificent birdlife, the rare black rhinoceros, and all the predatory cats. The Maasai can also be seen grazing their cattle alongside the buffalo and wildebeest.
Lunch will be saved at the wonderful Hippo Pool picnic site while dinner will be provided at Fig Tree Lodge accommodation in Mto wa Mbu.
