1-Day Ngorongoro Crater Safari from Arusha

• A transfer from the airport can be arranged for an extra cost.

Begin your Day 1 safari with a 6:00 AM pickup from Arusha in a 4x4 pop-up roof vehicle. Traverse 150 km through misty Ngorongoro Highlands, passing Maasai villages. By 9:00 AM, descend into the UNESCO-listed Ngorongoro Crater, a 260 km² caldera teeming with 25,000 animals. Marvel at black rhinos, prides of lions, and elephants roaming golden plains. Spot flamingos on Lake Magadi and leopards in Lerai Forest. Savor a picnic lunch by Ngoitokitok Spring, hippos grunting nearby. Explore until 4:30 PM, then return to Arusha by 7:30 PM, enchanted by this volcanic Eden’s surreal beauty.
