En route you will view the scenic wheat plains & coffee plantations of the highlands, before journeying into the Ngorongoro forests and on to your lodge, perched over the edge of the crater.

Day 4: Ngorongoro Crater


A highlight awaits you this morning as you depart by 4x4 to explore what is commonly referred to as the world’s largest wildlife zoo. After breakfast, you will descend 2,000 feet, through the early morning mist, into the crater for a spectacular safari. Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera and is also one of the 7 Natural Wonders of the World. Due to its size and diversity, the crater floor comprises several distinct habitats, ranging from forest, swamps, lakes and springs, to open grassland and some sandy dunes. It is an awesome wildlife experience. In the afternoon you leave the crater and drive back to the lodge.
