From $ 334 Per Person
Ngorongoro Crater Day Safari The Ultimate Wildlife Spectacle
Embark on an intensive, yet deeply rewarding full-day Ngorongoro Crater safari—a seamless adventure designed for those with limited time who refuse to compromise on an authentic, world-class African wildlife experience. This tour’s uniqueness lies in its ability to deliver the “Big Five” (lion, leopard, rhino, elephant, and buffalo) sightings in a single, focused day within one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa. Guests should choose this tour for the unparalleled wildlife density offered by the Ngorongoro Crater, the world’s largest intact, unfilled volcanic caldera and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You can expect to see an estimated 25,000 animals, including the highest concentration of lions in Africa, vast herds of wildebeest and zebra, wallowing hippos at Ngoitoktok Springs, and the elusive, critically endangered Black Rhino, which has one of its last natural strongholds on the crater floor.

ITINERARY
The adventure begins with a very early pick-up (around 5:00 AM) from your accommodation in Arusha. The scenic drive to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA) gate takes approximately 3 to 4 hours (about 190 km) on good tarmac, offering captivating views of the Great Rift Valley escarpment along the way. Upon arrival and entry, you will stop at a spectacular crater rim viewpoint before descending 600 meters into the caldera for your game drive. The main game drive on the crater floor will last roughly 5 to 6 hours, maximizing your chances for prime morning wildlife activity and ensuring compliance with conservation regulations. After a picnic lunch surrounded by nature, you will ascend the crater wall and begin the return journey, arriving back in Arusha in the early evening (around 6:00 PM – 7:00 PM). This entire journey is a meticulously planned 12 to 14-hour tour that encapsulates the very best of a Tanzanian safari into a single, power-packed day.
