Excursion to Ngorongoro Crater and return drop-off in Arusha.
After breakfast, we will begin our long-awaited excursion to the Ngorongoro Crater, considered by many to be the Eighth Wonder of the World. When you first gaze at this amazing caldera from the panoramic viewpoint, you will realize why it has gained such modest popularity. The Ngorongoro Crater is home to a variety of species, including the Big Five, and is one of the prime destinations in the world. It’s the best place to spot the endangered black rhinoceros. Enjoy a meal close to the hippo pool, which offers a great view of the lake and the large number of hippos enjoying the cool water. From the comfort of your open-roof 4x4 Land Cruiser (safari vehicle), you can photograph and observe some of the most recognizable faces. Ngorongoro is home to a good number of predators, including lions (Simba), leopards, wildebeests (nyumbu), zebras, antelopes, Cape buffalos, and many more. After your game drive, you will be dropped off at the hotel in Arusha, which you booked after your safari.
