Safari Overview

Travel from Arusha to the world-famous Ngorongoro Conservation Area for a private full-day safari inside the Ngorongoro Crater. Descend from the highlands to the crater floor, where permanent water, grasslands and woodland support an exceptional concentration of wildlife. Depending on the day, guests may encounter lions, elephants, buffaloes, zebras, wildebeest, hippos, gazelles, hyenas and many bird species. The crater is also one of the places in Tanzania where travelers may have a chance of seeing the endangered black rhino, although sightings are never guaranteed. After the game drive and picnic lunch, ascend from the crater and return to Arusha.
