Day 7

Ngorongoro Crater

Ngorongoro Crater

On this day, we advise a very early wake-up time so that you can go on a game drive early in the morning (when the animals are more active) and enjoy one of the most beautiful sunrises you'll ever see. It truly is one of the most lovely things to experience. We'll head back to the camp after the game drive for a satisfying brunch. After that, we'll head to the airport to catch your flight back to Arusha or to wherever your next fantastic location may be (such as Zanzibar). Alternatively, you could opt to stay at the camp and unwind rather than going on this early-morning game drive.
