Pick up at the airport and transferred to Arusha for lunch and safari briefing

After lunch drive to Ngorongoro Conservation Area

Ngorongoro Crater is the largest Caldera in the world that has its walls intact. The Ngorongoro Crater floor, a sheer drop of 610 metres below the crater rim, has an area of 304 sq. km, with a diameter of 19 km. The sight of the Ngorongoro Crater is simply stunning. “It is one of the Wonders of the World…” once wrote Professor Bernhard Grzimek. The crater floor is home to tens of thousands of plains animals, including wildebeest, zebra, gazelles, elands, and a large predator population of lions, hyena and jackal which can all be viewed at close range. The rare black rhino can be viewed here, and if you are lucky you can see cheetah and leopard. The altitude at the crater rim is about 2286 metres above sea level, and temperatures can get quite chilly in the evening
