Serengeti National Park to Ngorongoro Crater

Ngorongoro Crater - After breakfast at the lodge, depart for the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Stop at Olduvai Gorge, a site with a history dating back to the dawn of time.

Ngorongoro Crater

The Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most densely populated African wildlife areas in the world, 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 Ngorongoro National Park supports a vast array of animals, including herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants.

Another major attraction of this picturesque national park is its large population of predators, including lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the elusive leopard. Enjoy a picnic lunch on the crater floor.

Dinner and overnight stay as per the chosen accommodation option on the crater rim, as there is no accommodation available inside the crater.
