Day Trip Safari in Ngorongoro Conservation Area

Early Morning: Pick-up and Transfer to Ngorongoro Conservation Area

Your day begins with an early pick-up from your hotel or lodge in Arusha, Moshi, or surrounding areas. After meeting your professional driver-guide, you’ll set off on a scenic drive (approx. 4–5 hours) through Tanzania’s highlands, passing small villages and dramatic landscapes.

Arrive at the Ngorongoro Crater rim, where you'll descend 600 meters into the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera for an unforgettable game drive.

Midday: Game Drive and Picnic Lunch in Ngorongoro Crater

Explore the crater floor on a half-day game drive, where you'll likely encounter:

• Black rhinos (rare and endangered)

• Lions, hyenas, and possibly leopards

• Elephants, buffaloes, and wildebeests

• Large flocks of flamingos and other water birds around Lake Magadi

• Hippos wallowing in freshwater pools

Enjoy a picnic lunch at a scenic site inside the crater, surrounded by breathtaking views and roaming wildlife.

Afternoon: Ascend the Crater – Return to Arusha

After lunch and final wildlife sightings, ascend back to the crater rim and begin your return journey to Arusha, arriving in the early evening. You’ll be dropped off at your hotel, airport, or another preferred location.
