After breakfast, we’ll descend 600 meters into the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater for a half-day game drive. This area is one of the most densely populated wildlife regions in Africa, home to around 30,000 animals, including some of Tanzania's last remaining black rhinos. With a year-round water supply and abundant fodder, the crater supports a diverse array of wildlife, including herds of wildebeest, zebras, buffalo, eland, warthogs, hippos, and giant African elephants.
The park is also known for its high concentration of predators, including lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the elusive leopard, which can be tricky to spot. We’ll enjoy a picnic lunch in the crater before traveling to Tarangire National Park. Dinner and overnight accommodations will be at Fanaka Lodge.
