This day trip offers you the chance to explore the renowned Ngorongoro Crater, often hailed as the eighth wonder of the world. This massive caldera, the world's largest unbroken one, is home to a diverse array of wildlife, including the rare black rhinoceros.
Your adventure begins as you depart from Moshi, embarking on a journey approximately 275 kilometers to reach the Ngorongoro gate. Upon arrival, you'll descend into the crater for an exhilarating 6-hour game drive. Along the way, you'll have the opportunity to spot a variety of animals against the backdrop of stunning scenery.
Midway through your game drive, you'll pause for lunch at the picturesque Ngoitokok swamp, where a hippo pool provides a tranquil setting for a picnic. Take in the breathtaking landscape as you enjoy your meal, capturing the beauty of your surroundings in photographs.
In addition to the elusive black rhino, the crater is home to a plethora of other wildlife species, including elephants, zebras, wildebeests, buffalos, and impalas. Keep your eyes peeled for sightings of iconic carnivores such as lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, and various smaller cat species as you traverse the crater's terrain.
This day trip promises an unforgettable safari experience, offering the opportunity to witness the wonders of nature in one of Tanzania's most iconic and breathtaking destinations.
You'll kick off your adventure bright and early, departing from either Moshi or Arusha as the sun begins to rise. The journey to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area is as scenic as it is long, offering glimpses of bustling Maasai villages and sweeping plains adorned with acacia trees, punctuated by the occasional appearance of giraffes or wildebeests.
Upon arrival at the Ngorongoro Crater, often referred to as the 8th natural wonder of the world, you'll embark on an unforgettable game drive. Descending into the crater floor in your open-top vehicle, you'll be treated to breathtaking panoramic views and, with a bit of luck, sightings of the Big Five—lion, elephant, buffalo, rhinoceros, and leopard.
The crater boasts an astonishing array of wildlife, with over 120 species of mammals calling it home. Marvel at the sight of saline lakes like Lake Magadi, a haven for flamingos and other water birds. Keep your eyes peeled for pools teeming with hippos and the endangered black rhinos, while overhead, secretary birds, white storks, kori bustards, crowned cranes, and ostriches grace the skies.
But it's not just the wildlife that captivates visitors; the sheer beauty of the landscape leaves a lasting impression. Ngorongoro's dense population of predators, including lions, hyenas, jackals, and cheetahs, adds to the allure of this picturesque park. Spotting the elusive leopard may require a keen eye, but the thrill of the chase is part of the adventure.
As the day unfolds, you'll enjoy a picnic lunch amidst the park's stunning surroundings, refueling for more exploration. Over the course of five exhilarating hours, you'll witness the best of Africa's wildlife and landscapes. As the late afternoon approaches and your heads buzz with unforgettable memories, you'll make your way back to Arusha or Moshi, reflecting on the incredible experiences of the day.
