Arusha – Ngorongoro Crater

Arusha – Ngorongoro Crater

At 7am your safari driver guide will pick you up from your Arusha hotel. Equipped with a wealth of knowledge, our experts will be able to answer any questions you have and provide you with all the information necessary for an unforgettable safari experience.
You will begin your journey to the stunning Ngorongoro Conservation Area. You will be descending into the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, formed when a volcano exploded and collapsed in on itself 2-3 million years ago. You will enjoy your first game drive around the crater floor, stopping for a picnic lunch at one of the many scenic lunch spots. With its 2,000-foot-high walls, very few animals migrate in and out of the crater, making it an area with one of the highest concentrations of wild animals globally.
You’ll be searching for lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, hippos, flamingos, jackals, rhinos, antelopes, and many rare birds you might even get to see the ‘Big Five’ all in one day!

Main Destination:

One of the most scenic drives in Tanzania, you can see Maasai warriors grazing cattle and, depending on the time of year, you may witness what makes up the largest mass migration of animals on earth.
