After exploring the Serengeti, you’ll head to the **Ngorongoro Crater**, often referred to as the "Eighth Wonder of the World." This ancient volcanic caldera is teeming with wildlife and offers some of the most spectacular game viewing in Africa. As you descend into the crater, you’ll find a lush, fertile environment that supports a wide range of animals, including the endangered black rhino, lions, elephants, buffalo, and hippos. The crater floor is a microcosm of the African wilderness, with diverse habitats ranging from grasslands and forests to lakes and swamps. While you won’t stay inside the crater itself, you’ll stay at an exceptional **5-star lodge** perched on the rim, offering panoramic views of the crater and the surrounding landscapes. Enjoy luxury amenities, gourmet dining, and the utmost in privacy and service as you relax in comfort after an exciting day of game viewing.
Your safari adventure concludes with a visit to **Lake Eyasi**, a remote and culturally rich area in the Great Rift Valley. The lake is home to two fascinating indigenous groups: the **Hadzabe** and the **Datoga** tribes. The Hadzabe, one of the last remaining hunter-gatherer societies in the world, still practice ancient methods of hunting and foraging.
