Safari summary

Experience the breathtaking beauty and rich wildlife of Ngorongoro Crater on this 1-day group joining safari adventure. Departing from Arusha, this day trip takes you to one of Tanzania's most iconic and geologically unique sites. Known as the "Eighth Wonder of the World," Ngorongoro Crater is the world's largest inactive volcanic caldera, providing a stunning backdrop for one of the most diverse wildlife habitats in Africa.

Your journey begins with an early morning departure, ensuring you make the most of your day. After a scenic 3-hour drive, you will arrive at the crater and descend into its depths. The crater floor is home to an astonishing variety of animals, including the Big Five: lions, elephants, leopards, rhinos, and buffaloes. You'll also encounter large herds of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles, as well as hippos lounging in the water.

A picnic lunch within the crater allows you to soak in the unparalleled views and tranquility of this natural wonder. Following lunch, you'll continue your game drive, exploring different parts of the crater and witnessing its unique ecosystem.

By late afternoon, you'll ascend the crater and start your journey back to Arusha, carrying unforgettable memories of a day spent in one of Tanzania's premier wildlife destinations.
