1-Day Journey into the Heart of Ngorongoro Crater

• A transfer from the airport can be arranged for an extra cost.

After breakfast at 7:00 AM, your guide will pick you up from your hotel or a designated location in Arusha for a 5-hour drive to Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Upon arrival at Loduare Gate, your safari documents will be processed before you descend into the crater for a game drive. Ngorongoro Crater is a massive volcanic caldera, 200 km across, 600 meters deep, and 300 square kilometers in area. A UNESCO World Heritage site, it’s often called the "8th Wonder of the World." Inside, you can spot the "Big 5"—lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, and leopard—and other wildlife, birds of prey, and stunning landscapes. The Maasai people coexist with wildlife here. After a picnic lunch, continue your game drive before returning to Arusha around 5:00 PM and drop you off at your hotel or designated location in Arusha city, concluding your day tour.
