Ngorongoro Crater
After an early breakfast, equipped with picnic lunches, you'll embark on a journey to one of Africa's seven wonders. Being lodged within the reserve grants you the privilege of being among the first to descend into the crater, stirring the awakening of its inhabitants. Two million years ago, the Ngorongoro Crater was formed by a colossal volcanic eruption, giving rise to a unique ecological habitat nurtured by the fertile lava. This crater harbors a greater concentration of wildlife than anywhere else in Africa, including iconic species such as lions, buffalo, zebras, and wildebeests. It stands as an unparalleled opportunity to witness the rare and endangered black rhinos. Concluding this unforgettable day at the Ngorongoro Crater, your driver-guide will accompany you to Arusha or Kilimanjaro Airport for your return flight to Zanzibar, leaving you with memories of an extraordinary adventure.
