After breakfast, depart for the breathtaking Ngorongoro Conservation Area, one of the world’s most remarkable natural wonders. Formed by the collapse of a massive volcano millions of years ago, the Ngorongoro Crater is a vast natural amphitheater often called Africa’s “Garden of Eden.” From the forested crater rim, enjoy spectacular panoramic views before descending by four-wheel-drive vehicle into this primeval ecosystem.
The crater floor shelters an extraordinary concentration of wildlife—around 20,000 animals—across grasslands, swamps, rivers, woodland, and a central soda lake. Expect to see large herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, and gazelle, which in turn attract predators such as black-maned lions, leopards, and hyenas. Lone bull elephants and flamingos around the lake add to this unforgettable experience.
After your crater exploration, proceed to Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge for dinner and an overnight stay, enjoying dramatic views over the crater floor.
