It covers an area of approximately 2,850 square kilometers (1,100 square miles.) The landscape is composed of granitic ridges, river valleys, and swamps. Vegetation is a mix of Acacia woodland, Commiphora-combretum woodland, seasonally flooded grassland, and baobab trees. At noon, stop for brunch, then proceed for the next part of the game drive.

Day 5

Ngorongoro Crater - Arusha

Ngorongoro Crater - Arusha

Descend the crater rim for a half-day tour with a picnic lunch. This is Tanzania's "secret garden", which contains a hidden world of teeming wildlife. The Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA), measuring 8,300 square kilometres, is also the only place on earth where mankind and wild animals co-exist in harmony. The NCA became a Man and Biosphere Reserve in 1971 and was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979. Its uniqueness lays in the fact that the NCA is where man, livestock and wild animals live in peace - Maasai cattle can sometimes be seen grazing alongside zebras on Ngorongoro's grassland. Apart from conserving world heritage, Ngorongoro plays a major role in national development. "We pay 30 percent corporate tax, 3 percent tourism tax, and remit 10 percent of our earnings to the treasury", explains Bernard Murunya, the NCAA's Chief Conservator. Later, drive back to Arusha for drop-off at Swahili House & Art L.
