You’ll be picked up from the camp after breakfast and then drive to the Ngorongoro Crater with picnic lunch boxes in hand for a game drive. Often called the “Eighth Natural Wonder of the World,” the Ngorongoro Crater is the largest intact crater in the world. About two million years ago, the Ngorongoro volcano erupted, and its walls collapsed. The volcano floor sank to create a natural enclosure with 600-meter-tall walls. Now over 19 kilometers wide, the Ngorongoro Crater is filled with great areas of acacia forest, hippo-filled swamps, and open grasslands. These different habitats contain over 30,000 animals, including elephants, warthogs, flamingos, magnificent birdlife, the rare black rhinoceros, and all the predatory cats. The Maasai can also be seen grazing their cattle alongside the buffalo and wildebeest. Afterward, you will drive to Mto wa Mbu area for dinner and your overnight stay at the campsite.
