A day trip to Ngorongoro Crater from Arusha/Moshi promises an unforgettable adventure, providing a perfect opportunity to witness the natural wonders of this unique landscape.

The day typically begins with an early morning departure from Arusha, embarking on a scenic 3 to 4-hour drive to the Ngorongoro Crater.

The journey offers breathtaking views as you descend about 2,000 feet from the crater's rim to its floor, revealing the stunning landscapes of the Great Rift Valley along the way.

Upon arrival, you can look forward to an immersive game drive within the Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its dense concentration of wildlife.

The crater is home to an incredible array of animals, including the Big Five (lions, elephants, buffaloes, leopards, and rhinoceroses), zebras, gazelles, and various bird species.

The game drives provide an up-close encounter with these magnificent creatures, offering ample opportunities for wildlife photography and observation.

As part of the experience, a delightful picnic lunch is provided in the form of packed lunch boxes, allowing guests to savor a meal amidst the breathtaking natural surroundings. The lunch break often takes place at a picturesque spot such as the hippo pool, offering panoramic views of the marshes teeming with hippos and birds.

After lunch, you will continue to explore the crater, with the game drives extending into the late afternoon to maximize wildlife sightings.

Following a full day of adventure and wildlife discovery, you will commence your drive back to Arusha, arriving in the evening.

This day trip offers a truly immersive and personalized experience, allowing guests to connect with nature and witness the remarkable beauty of the Ngorongoro Crater in an active and engaging manner.
