Tour Itinerary

01

Day 1 : Ngorongoro Crater

You will take early morning breakfast you will drive to Ngorongoro Crater for a game drive. It's about a 3-hours drive from Arusha Town.

The Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most densely crowded African wildlife areas in the world and is home to an estimated 30,000 animals including some of Tanzania's last remaining black rhinos.

Supported by a year-round water supply and fodder, the crater supports a vast variety of animals, which include herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants. Another big draw card to this picturesque national park is its huge population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the ever-elusive leopard. We will enjoy a picnic lunch on the crater floor.

Late afternoon you will drive back to Arusha
