1-Day Ngorongoro Crater Day Trip Safari Experience

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

This morning, you will be picked up from any location in Arusha and drive toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, enjoying scenic views of the Great Rift Valley and highland landscapes along the way. Upon arrival, descend 600 meters into the Ngorongoro Crater, one of Africa’s most remarkable natural wonders and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Spend the day exploring the crater floor on game drives, where you may encounter lions, elephants, buffalo, zebras, wildebeest, hippos, and the endangered black rhino.

A delicious hot lunch will be served at a designated picnic site inside the crater, surrounded by breathtaking scenery and abundant wildlife. After lunch, continue with more game drives across the crater’s diverse habitats, from open plains to freshwater lakes rich in birdlife such as flamingos.

Later in the afternoon, ascend the crater rim and drive back to Arusha, where you will be dropped off at your preferred location, marking the end of an unforgettable day trip.
