Day 3

Ngorongoro Crater

Ngorongoro Crater

Your day begins early between 6:00 and 6:30 am as you will descend into the Ngorongoro Crater. The earlier you descend the crater, you'll increase the chances of encountering the black rhinos.

From the comfort of your open-roof 4*4 land cruiser (safari vehicle), you'll spend the majority of the time exploring the crater. With its 600- to 650-meter-high walls, Ngorongoro Crater resembles a natural zoo. The landscape here shifts greatly depending on the season, and you're guaranteed to observe scenes found nowhere else in Tanzania.

After the chills and thrills of the day, you will have a picnic lunch by the famous hippo pool. Thereafter, your guide will drive to Arusha for an evening flight to Zanzibar. The expected arrival time in Zanzibar is 6:00 pm.
