After breakfast, you will wind your way toward Ngorongoro Crater, hopefully enjoying more wonder on the way. Ngorongoro Crater is concealed by the steep volcanic walls and is a pristine wilderness including sweeping savannah, pockets of acacia woodland, glistening lakes and swamps.
The crater was created when a large volcano exploded and collapsed in on itself two to three million years ago.
The drive down into the crater is an adventure in itself. When you reach the crater floor, you’ll quickly find yourself amongst large numbers of wildebeests, zebras, gazelles, and more than 500 bird species. The crater provides you with the best chance of seeing the endangered black Rhinos, which can sometimes be spotted in the open grasslands. After a full afternoon inside the crater and a hot lunch in between game drives, you will drive to your accommodation at Mawemawe Luxury Lodge, located at the escarpment above Lake Manyara.
