Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha

After breakfast, you will begin your awaited execution to Ngorongoro Crater; considered by many to be the Eighth Wonder of the World. When you get your first gaze at this amazing caldera from the panoramic viewpoint, you will shortly realize why it has gained such modest popularity. Ngorongoro Crater is home to a variety of species including the Big Five. Ngorongoro Crater is one of the prime destinations in the world. It’s the best place to spot the endangered black rhinoceros, a meal close to the hippo pool which offers a great view of the lake and a large number of hippos enjoying the cool water of the pool.
From the comfort of your open-roof 4*4 land cruiser (safari vehicle), you will have a chance to photograph and observe some of the most recognizable faces.

Day 4

Mount Kilimanjaro Hiking

Mount Kilimanjaro Hiking

It’s impossible to climb this famous highest Mount Kilimanjaro in a day, but our day trip to this majestic iconic snow-capped mountain will give you a shot to scramble up the first leg of the well-known Marangu route on your way through the thick rainforest. Your day trip begins with a hotel pick at either Moshi or Arusha then jump in for a relaxing drive to Marangu gate for registration with the authorities before you begin your long-awaited hike. This route approaches the mountain from the southern-east part. Your main task for the day is to make sure you reach Mandara Hut, the first point of a full hike. You will only trek through the lower altitude, taking your picnic lunch en route to Mandara Hut. Once you are at Mandara Hut, you will rest for approximately 30 to 45 minutes before you begin your slow descent back to the main gate.
Your driver will be waiting for you to drive you back to your hotel with relaxing music to take away the tiredness.
