Return to your lodge or camp for breakfast, then set out from Ndutu toward the Ngorongoro Crater, one of Africa’s most iconic wildlife destinations and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Descend to the crater floor for an unforgettable game drive, spotting the Big Five—black rhinos, lions, elephants, buffalos, and leopards, alongside flamingos, hippos, zebras, wildebeest, and other remarkable wildlife. Around midday, enjoy a scenic picnic lunch within or near the crater, surrounded by its dramatic landscapes.
