Ngorongoro Crater
After breakfast, you will depart from Serengeti National Park and drive to the Ngorongoro Crater for a game drive. The Ngorongoro Crater is the world's largest intact volcanic caldera and is home to a wide variety of wildlife and bird species. During your game drive on the crater floor, you may have the opportunity to see elephants, buffaloes, lions, hyenas, zebras, wildebeests, gazelles, hippos, and, with some luck, the endangered black rhino. The crater is one of the best places in Tanzania to spot a diverse range of wildlife within a relatively small area. The Ngorongoro Conservation Area is also unique because wildlife and Maasai communities coexist within the same protected landscape, allowing the Maasai to continue their traditional way of life. In the late afternoon, you will ascend from the crater and proceed to your lodge for dinner and overnight stay.
