What you'll see

You'll depart from Arusha at the crack of dawn for the long but scenic drive to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. which is the 8th natural wonder of the world and the unique, world-famous caldera with the most abundant wildlife. We will descend into the Ngorongoro crater floor, you will enjoy the amazing panoramic view and if you are lucky, you will see the Big five. The caldera is exhibiting more than 120 species of mammals. We will see pools full of hippos, endangered East Africa’s last black rhinos, crowned cranes, and ostriches. Another big draw card to this picturesque park is its dense population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the ever-elusive leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot. After the thrills and excitement of the day, you will have a picnic lunch in the park, you'll see the very best that Africa has to offer. In the late afternoon, with heads full of amazing memories, you'll return to Arusha.
