Ngorongoro Crater
Exclusive Wildlife Day Trip

In the morning, we will pick you up from your lodge at around 5:00–5:30 am to make it early at the gate. We shall have a stop at the Manyara or Karatu area for a breakfast stop and some stretching after a 2 to 2.5-hour drive through a well-tarmacked road. The road goes through the Tarangire–Manyara ecosystem — early in the morning you might see zebras, giraffes, Thompson's gazelles and even elephants crossing the roads. We descend into the Ngorongoro Crater — one of the most extraordinary places on Earth. We will pass through the Ngorongoro Highlands on a short 30-minute drive to the gates. After the morning game drive, you will enjoy a picnic lunch beside the crater lake close to the hippo pool. Lunch is served around 1:30–2:30 pm, after which there is an afternoon game drive of 1–2 hours. Then you will start ascending the crater. After a wonderful day, we leave the Ngorongoro gate around 4:30–5:30 pm and head back to Arusha.
