Arusha to Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area - Game Drive

Picked up at Arusha and you’ll descend into the legendary Ngorongoro Crater for an unforgettable game drive. Often referred to as the eighth natural wonder of the world, the Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s largest unbroken and un-flooded caldera. Formed over two million years ago when a massive volcano erupted and collapsed in on itself, the crater now spans over 19 kilometers in diameter with towering walls rising 600 meters high. Within this natural sanctuary lies a diverse range of ecosystems from lush acacia forests and grassy plains to freshwater swamps teeming with hippos. These varied habitats are home to more than 30,000 animals, including elephants, warthogs, flamingoes, a wide variety of bird species, and the elusive black rhino. You’ll also have the chance to spot lions, leopards, and cheetahs roaming the crater floor. Dinner and overnight at Fig Tree Lodge and Camp (Meal Plans : HB).
