After breakfast, drive to Ngorongoro where you will descend into the crater for a wonderful game drive with your lunch box to be served in the crater. This region has often been described as the “eighth wonder of the world” and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s largest unbroken volcanic caldera. The 2,000-foot-deep crater formed when a volcano exploded and collapsed on itself some 2 to 3 million years ago.

A rich grassy pasture covers the crater floor and provides favourable conditions for grazing animals such as lions, zebras, gazelles, buffalo, and warthogs, to name a few. This natural enclosure provides a haven for some of Tanzania’s endangered black rhinos. Later in the afternoon ascend from the crater, and drive to Arusha where on arrival you will be dropped at your lodge.
