In the late afternoon, you will head to your accommodation — which can range from budget-friendly to midrange or luxury options — for dinner and an overnight stay.

Ngorongoro Crater Tour & Return to Arusha

Rise early for the pinnacle of your safari experience: a descent into the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater. Often called Africa’s “Garden of Eden,” this UNESCO World Heritage Site is an extinct volcanic caldera teeming with an incredible density of wildlife. Within its natural walls, you’ll have an excellent chance of spotting the entire “Big Five” — lion, leopard, elephant, rhino, and buffalo. After an exhilarating game drive on the crater floor, enjoy a final picnic lunch by the hippo pool. In the afternoon, you’ll begin the scenic drive back to Arusha, concluding your unforgettable safari.
