Ndutu Area

A game drive in the Ndutu will take place early in the morning. With animals like lions, leopards, and cheetahs out and about during the morning, we hope to witness the African wild sunrise here.

You will then proceed with a full-day game drive in the plain following breakfast, with a good chance of witnessing sizable herds of wildebeest grazing on the boundless grass plain. Furthermore, it's a good time to witness large predators killing wildebeest.

Following your encounter with the wildebeests, you will make your way back to the camp for dinner and the night.

This is your last chance to spend some time with the wildebeests, so enjoy an early morning game drive in the Ndutu Area. Following a delectable lunch, you will depart once more for the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

You'll have plenty of chances to see wildlife on your afternoon drive back through the magnificent Ngorongoro Highlands. You'll see strong African elephants, elegant and tall giraffes, leaping gazelles and antelopes, and the most revered of all animal groups: the predators.

It is possible to observe slender cheetahs, timid leopards, hyenas going on their daily hunt, and of course, the majestic lions.

You will spend the night and have dinner at Embalakai Ngorongoro Camp.

Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha

You'll get an early start on your final day of safari. You will have a quick breakfast before beginning your early descent into the crater floor at around 6:30 am. The largest intact, unfilled, inactive volcanic caldera in the world is the Ngorongoro Crater.

With a depth of more than 2000 feet, it boasts a vast floor area of roughly 260 sq km. You will witness a great deal of animal activity during the five to six-hour game drive on the crater floor.

It's advised to always have the camera ready. There are many African animals to be found, including lions, hyenas, cheetahs, buffalo, hippos, and black rhinos. You will start a steep ascent to the top exit of the crater after enjoying a picnic lunch at the lovely Hippo pool.

You'll be driven to Arusha later on, where you can unwind at the hotel for the duration of the following day.
