After your drive, enjoy an on-the-road lunch as you journey toward the Ngorongoro Highlands. The scenery shifts dramatically from the open Serengeti plains to rolling hills and fertile landscapes. Arrive at Ngorongoro Wild Camp, where you can relax, enjoy dinner, and prepare for tomorrow’s crater adventure while taking in views of the surrounding wilderness.
