Ngorongoro Crater to Serengeti National Park

After breakfast, you will drive up into the cooler regions of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. When you first see Ngorongoro Crater, it looks like a forgotten world. The steep volcanic walls, including sweeping savannahs, pockets of acacia woodland, and glistening lakes and swamps, conceal a pristine wilderness. The crater was created when a giant volcano exploded and collapsed in on itself 2 to 3 million years ago, and it covers an area of 260 km².

The crater is famous for its geological delights and for being a natural reserve home to some of the densest large mammal populations on the African continent. After you descend into the crater, you quickly find yourself amongst many wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, and more than 500 bird species. The crater provides the best chance of seeing the endangered black rhino. You will then transit through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area to the Serengeti, entering the park's south.
