Tour Overview
The Ngorongoro Crater, situated within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and international biosphere reserve. The crater is the largest intact caldera globally and the second-largest inactive volcano. This crater was once an active volcano around eight million years ago, but its cone collapsed, forming the immense crater we admire today. The crater's rim is adorned with mountain forest vegetation and hosts diverse animal species. The crater spreads for 102sq miles and has 2,000 ft high walls, making it virtually a Noah's ark and inhabiting almost every species of wildlife indigenous to East Africa. It's one of the sporadic locations in the continent where you can witness the black rhino. The concentration of African wildlife is the greatest in the continent. The crater has a river, several swamps, a soda lake with a great concentration of flamingos, a forest, and open plains. It's also famous for its elephants which are the largest in the world and have huge tusks. This is due to the rich mineral content of the volcanic soil and its grasses. Ngorongoro Crater is truly a Wonder of the Natural World.

Day 1:
The journey from Arusha to Lodoare gate, spanning 160 kilometers, is now accessible via a newly constructed tarmac road, making the entire trip approximately two hours. If you plan to venture off the main roads and instead take the graveled road, using a 4×4 safari vehicle is essential when entering the Ngorongoro Crater.
Departure from Arusha is scheduled for 6:00 am, with the first stop being the Loduare gate for registration. From there, you will descend into the Ngorongoro Crater for a memorable tour of this vast natural amphitheater, covering 2590 square kilometers (100 square miles). This unique landscape is home to a remarkable variety of wildlife, including the potential to spot rhinos, elephants, lions, and large herds of zebras and wildebeest. You will enjoy a picnic lunch on the crater floor. Later in the afternoon, you will exit the crater and return to Arusha for an overnight stay, arranged independently.
