Ngorongoro Crater to Moshi/Arusha
Ngorongoro Crater to Moshi/Arusha
We’ll rise early and head to the Ngorongoro Crater for a thrilling game drive. The early morning is the best time to spot wildlife as the park is peaceful and animals are more active. The Crater, formed millions of years ago by a volcanic eruption, is a unique ecosystem where many animals live year-round. It’s one of the best places to see the “Big Five”—lion, elephant, leopard, rhino, and buffalo—along with zebra, wildebeest, hippos, hyenas, and graceful flamingos along the Soda Lake. The Crater is also a hotspot for vultures, storks, and geese. We’ll enjoy a picnic lunch in the crater before concluding our game drive
