Your day in and around Ngorongoro Crater could just be one of the most memorable of your whole safari. You’ll explore the crater rim and then drive down onto the crater floor, where the critically endangered black rhinos are the stars of an astonishing wildlife show. You’ll almost certainly see large tusked elephants, at least one of the Ngorongoro’s four lion pride, and wandering clans of spotted hyenas. It also just happens to be one of Africa’s most beautiful corners, a hidden world where you’ll be surrounded by steep, deep-green crater walls, a salt lake, forests, and hippo-filled waterways.
After the game drive in Ngorongoro Crater, you will start your journey to Central Serengeti National Park. You're going to be staying with us at Serengeti Heritage Luxury Tented Camp.
