Enclosed by towering crater walls, the crater floor supports an extraordinary concentration of wildlife, including lions, elephants, buffalo, hippos and flamingos. With luck, you may also spot the endangered black rhinoceros. After this remarkable final safari, continue to the Arusha area, where drop-off is scheduled for the early evening.
For some, it's time to fly back home, others stay another night in Arusha or opt for a tropical extension on the enchanting island of Zanzibar. Whatever your follow-up, this safari will leave a lasting impression.
