Ngorongoro crater

Enjoy a full-day game drive across the crater floor with excellent chances of spotting the Big Five lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and the rare black rhino - as well as large herds of wildebeest and zebras, hippos in the pools, hyenas, jackals, and a variety of birdlife including flamingos along Lake Magadi. After a picnic lunch inside the crater surrounded by breathtaking scenery, you will ascend the crater walls and proceed to Karatu for dinner and overnight at Eileen’s Tree Inn, a peaceful lodge set in beautiful garden surroundings.
