After breakfast today, you will drive for 40 minutes to the crater rim and descend the steep walls of the Ngorongoro Crater in your private safari vehicle. This remarkable caldera, nearly three million years old, was formed by a colossal explosion that caused the original volcano to collapse, creating the vast crater we observe today. Spanning twelve miles in width and approximately 2,000 feet in depth, the journey from the rim to the crater floor takes about 45 minutes by vehicle.

The crater floor is teeming with wildlife, thriving on the fertile soil and lush grazing. Approximately 25,000 animals inhabit this area. Flocks of flamingos, hippos in the pools, and a variety of herds, solitary predators, and even a few rare black rhinos contribute to making this one of the most fascinating safari landscapes on earth.

You will enjoy a picnic lunch in the park, followed by a game drive as you return to your lodge in Karatu.
