Full-Day Game Drive Into The Heart of Ngorongoro Crater

On your final day, you will set out early in the morning, the best time to spot both small and big cats as they are most active before the heat of the day. Your journey begins with a drive to the Ngorongoro main gate for registration, followed by a stop at the breathtaking Crater Viewpoint. Take in the panoramic scenery before descending 600 meters into the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater for an unforgettable day of game drives.

The Crater, often called the “Eighth Wonder of the World,” forms a natural haven for over 30,000 animals, including Africa’s iconic Big Five. Expect sightings of lions, elephants, buffaloes, zebras, jackals, hyenas, topis, elands, and, with luck, the elusive leopard or endangered black rhino.

After a rewarding wildlife experience and a picnic lunch inside the Crater, you will return to Arusha in the evenig, where you will be dropped off at your hotel or Airport.
