1-Day Discover Ngorongoro Crater

• You'll be collected from the airport.

The Ngorongoro Crater Day Tour offers an unforgettable opportunity to explore one of Tanzania’s most iconic destinations within a single day. Starting early from Arusha (or nearby areas), you’ll drive through the scenic highlands before descending over 600 meters into the crater floor — a haven for diverse wildlife.

Often referred to as the “Eighth Wonder of the World,” the crater is home to over 25,000 animals, including elephants, buffalo, zebras, wildebeests, and a dense population of predators such as lions and hyenas. With a bit of luck, you may even spot the elusive black rhino.

Enjoy game drives across the lush grasslands, acacia forests, and hippo-filled swamps, with spectacular views of the surrounding crater walls as a backdrop. A picnic lunch will be served at a scenic spot within the crater before continuing with more wildlife encounters in the afternoon.

By evening, you’ll ascend the crater rim and drive back to Arusha.
