Expect to see elephants, giraffes, buffalos, lions, leopards and many bird species. You have a bush picnic lunch inside the park with a view of the savannah. In the late afternoon you exit Tarangire and drive up to the Ngorongoro Highlands for dinner and overnight on the Crater rim, with a beautiful sunset over the caldera.

Ngorongoro Crater -Arusha

Today is the highlight of your safari. After breakfast you descend into the Ngorongoro Crater, the largest intact volcanic caldera in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, often called the 8th Wonder of the World. The crater floor is home to over 25,000 animals and it is the best place in Tanzania to see the Big Five in one single day. Inside you will see endangered black rhinos, huge old bull elephants, big prides of lions, buffaloes, hippos in the pool, hyenas, cheetahs and thousands of flamingos on Lake Magadi. You will have your picnic lunch at the famous hippo pool inside the crater. After a full day exploring this natural wonder, you ascend the crater wall and drive back to Arusha where your short but powerful safari ends.
