1-Day Ngorongoro Crater Day Trip to See the Big 5 Animal

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

Pick up from Arusha Palace Hotel at 05h30 from Arusha with 4x4x drive to Ngorongoro Loduare gate and today you will explore the famous Ngorongoro Crater during a wonderful game drive (with a picnic lunch) inside the Ngorongoro Crater often described as one of the wonders of the world. It is the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera and a natural sanctuary for some of Africa’s densest animal populations. It is one of the few places where the rare black rhino can be observed in their natural setting. As very few animals migrate in and out of the crater with its 2000 ft. high walls, you can expect to see lions, elephants, zebras, hippos, flamingos, jackals, rhinos, antelopes, many birds and other species. With a bit of luck, the ‘Big Five’ can be spotted during one game drive only. More game drive in different areas of the Park and later drive back to Arusha and drop off at Palace Hotel.
