3 Days Ngorongoro Crater Safaris

Overview

Ngorongoro Conservation Area is without a doubt among the most beautiful and fascinating places in Tanzania. It is steeped in history and teeming with wildlife. The vast Ngorongoro Crater is the area’s centrepiece and is one of the world’s greatest natural spectacles. Its magical scenery and abundant wildlife never fail to enthral visitors.
Ngorongoro Conservation Area boasts the finest blend of landscapes, wildlife, people, and archaeological sites in Africa. Often called an ‘African Eden’ and the ‘Eight Wonders of the Natural World’, it is also a pioneering experiment in multiple land uses. The multiple land-use philosophies in the area aim to maintain the peaceful co-existence of humans and wildlife in a natural and traditional setting. The volcanoes, grasslands, waterfalls, and mountain forests are home to an abundance of animals and also to the Maasai people.
The Ngorongoro Crater, a World Heritage Site, is nestled in a range of extinct volcanoes that rise to heights of more than 3,500 metres (11,483 feet). It is the largest unflooded and unbroken caldera in the world, measuring 19.2 km (12 miles) in diameter, 610 m (2,000 feet) deep, and 304 sq km (117 sq miles) in area. The first view of the Ngorongoro Crater takes your breath away. The crater alone has over 20,000 large animals, including some of Tanzania’s last remaining black rhinos. No fences or boundaries border the crater walls; animals are free to enter or leave the crater, but many of them stay for the plentiful water and grazing available on the crater floor throughout the year.
This tour can be combined with Zanzibar and other park experiences. Reach us for a Taylor-made experience.

Tour Plan

01
Day 01 : Arusha to Ngorongoro

On the first day of your Ngorongoro Safari, you depart Arusha town between 7:00 and 8:00 AM and travel through the Maasai Steppe and past Lake Manyara in the Rift Valley; drive up the escapement and across Karatu to the Loduare Gate of Ngorongoro Conservation Area. After a brief registration halt at the park’s entrance, we travel up to the viewpoint, where we take photographs of some of the most spectacular views of the caldera floor. The remainder of the day is spent on the Ngorongoro Crater floor on wildlife safaris. After a picnic dinner, afternoon game safaris will continue at the picnic area by the hippo pool. We will travel up the crater rim to a lodge for the night. Karatu accommodations include the Ngorongoro Farmhouse, Acacia Farm Lodge, or something comparable. Both lunch and dinner are provided.

02
Day 02:Ngorongoro Crater

You will descend into the Ngorongoro Crater, also known as the “Eden of Africa,” after breakfast. Ngorongoro Crater, the world’s largest unbroken caldera, is unparalleled in terms of biodiversity concentration. Your driver will be in constant communication with other vehicles in order to locate the best animal sightings, and with a little luck, you will be able to see the Big Five inside the caldera. At the picnic site, lunch will be served, and in the late afternoon, we will return to the crater rim to unwind and take in the views. If you are staying at Ngorongoro Farmhouse, Acacia Farm Lodge, or a comparable property in Karatu, you will have the option to swim in the pool.

03
Day 03: Ngorongoro Crater To Arusha

After a leisurely breakfast at the lodge on this day, you will have the option of visiting a Masai village or going on a nature stroll in the Ngorongoro forests (for a small additional charge). An armed ranger will lead you through the forest trails, where you may encounter masses of buffaloes and elephants, as well as other forest species such as duikers, lions, leopards, etc. Following the activities, you will return to Arusha town via Karatu and Mto wa Mbu market towns, where you may interact with residents and do some shopping if you so choose.
