A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Ngorongoro Crater has formed 2-3 million years ago when a volcano exploded and collapsed in on itself. With its 2,000-foot-high walls, very few animals migrate in and out of the crater – providing it with one of the highest concentrations of wild animals of
any African national park.

Today you will enjoy your first game drive before stopping for a picnic lunch. Expect to see lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes, hippos, flamingos, jackals, rhinos, antelopes, and many rare birds you might even see the ‘Big Five in one day!

After lunch, you will continue with an afternoon game drive exploring more of this small but beautiful National Park. At 6 pm, you will be taken to your lodge for an unforgettable overnight stay in the Ngorongoro Crater.

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. Huge herds of wildebeest, gazelle, and zebra move clockwise to find better grazing areas.
