This one-day Tanzania safari to Ngorongoro crater is a one-of-a-kind and affordable opportunity to explore Tanzania's top tourist attraction. Ngorongoro Crater is truly an amazing place. Did you know it was formed over two million years ago? A large volcano erupted, collapsing the volcano but leaving a perfectly unbroken crater, known as a caldera. Within the amazing crater, you can expect to view playful zebra, lumbering hippos, swift wildebeest, and cackling hyenas. In addition, there are flocks of graceful flamingos along the Soda Lake, while hungry hawks and vultures circle the sky in search of their next meal of discarded carcasses. Beautiful storks, ibises, and cranes are popular water birds in the crater, a sight not to miss. After a lovely afternoon of animal sightings, we will finally start our journey back to Arusha.
After an early morning breakfast in your hotel, we will come to pick you up, and we will start our travel tour from Arusha to Ngorongoro Crater, as it is the best time to spot animals. On this day, we will enjoy a game drive around the crater and stop for a picnic lunch at a small lake within the park.
The park is home to many hippos and migratory birds, so guests will be sure to enjoy their Tanzania safari tour visit!
