Start your day with the first rays of the sun at 06:30. Descend 600 meters into the Ngorongoro Crater floor for an unforgettable game drive. Fed by water from the highlands and abundant fodder, this area is rich in wildlife, including herds of wildebeest, giant African elephants, eland, zebra, warthog, buffalo, and the rare black rhino. The renowned Big Five—lion, leopard, buffalo, black rhino, and African elephant—can often be spotted during a single day of game driving. A packed lunch will be served at the crater floor. Another remarkable feature of this picturesque crater is its dense population of predators, including lions, cheetahs, hyenas, jackals, and the elusive leopard, which requires a trained eye to spot. You will visit Lake Magadi, a shallow alkaline lake that serves as one of the water sources in the crater. Flamingos, hippos, and other aquatic birds can be seen here.
Enjoy game drives until the afternoon, then begin your return journey to Arusha. If you are not flying out the same day, you can visit some Masai markets or shopping centers on your way back. Arrive in Arusha late in the afternoon for an overnight stay. (Accommodation can be arranged upon request at an extra cost). If you are flying out the same day, we will take you to Kilimanjaro International Airport (JRO) to catch your flight home. KLM offers a convenient flight departing from Kilimanjaro International Airport at 21:30.
