After a picnic lunch, begin your journey back through the Serengeti toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, enjoying wildlife sightings along the way.

You’ll also encounter hippos, hyenas, and an array of antelope and bird species. After a picnic lunch by a hippo pool, ascend from the crater and exit the conservation area.
