After an entire afternoon inside the crater, you will drive to your accommodation in the park. The Ngorongoro Conservation Area will amaze you and we’ll offer you a walking safari for more adventure. Even more so when you arrive at the edge of the crater and take in the amazing view over one of the natural wonders of this world. Steep volcanic walls conceal Ngorongoro Crater, a pristine wilderness with sweeping savannah, acacia woodland pockets, 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, and when you reach the crater floor, you will quickly find yourself amongst large numbers of wildebeest, zebra, gazelle, and more than 500 bird species. The crater provides you with the best chance of seeing the endangered black rhino, which can sometimes be spotted in the open grasslands.

After the crater tour ascend and drive back to your lodge in Arusha city or proceed to Kilimanjaro Airport for your departure flight.
