Ngorongoro Crater to Arusha

After breakfast, you will descend to the crater, which is 600 meters deep. The Ngorongoro Crater is a breathtakingly beautiful setting and the best place in East Africa to see the Big Five. It is one of the most beautiful natural wildlife safari sites in the world and an exceptional place to interact with people from the Maasai tribe.

On reaching the crater’s edge, the 20-kilometer diameter caldera opens up before you in all its stunning glory, and you will descend into the crater on an adventurous trail. This World Heritage Site is seasonally home to over 25,000 animals, including a wide range of bird species, hyenas and endangered black rhinos.

A hot lunch will be served at a picnic spot at the hippo pool, and after that, you will drive to Arusha or to the airport to catch your flight to the next destination.
