After an early breakfast, we will descend the crater at 6:15 am on a journey to spot the Big Five. Rhinos are the hardest to spot in the beautiful crater. Most animals will be easier to spot as the floor of the crater is open and wide. The crater has rivers, several swamps, and a soda lake with a great concentration of flamingos, a forest and open plains.

It's also famous for its massive elephants, the largest in the world, with huge tusks. The Ngorongoro Crater is truly a Wonder of the Natural World.
