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. We 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.
