Description
Discover the wonders of Ngorongoro Crater on a full-day safari, home to the Big Five, stunning landscapes, and diverse wildlife in the world’s largest volcanic caldera.
Your day begins early with a pickup from your hotel in Arusha or Moshi, followed by a scenic drive through the rolling highlands toward the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Upon arrival at the crater rim, you’ll pause to admire sweeping views of the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera before beginning your descent 600 meters down into the crater floor.
The day is spent exploring this natural wonder, where lush grasslands, acacia forests, and soda lakes create a haven for wildlife. You will have the chance to spot the famous Big Five—lion, elephant, buffalo, leopard, and the rare black rhino—along with wildebeest, zebras, hippos, and an incredible variety of birds including flamingos.
At midday, enjoy a picnic lunch at one of the designated spots inside the crater, surrounded by breathtaking scenery. In the afternoon, your game drive continues through different habitats, maximizing your chances of witnessing predator-prey interactions and capturing unforgettable photos.
As the day comes to a close, ascend back to the crater rim and begin the return journey to Arusha or Moshi, arriving in the evening with lasting memories of one of Africa’s most iconic safari destinations.
