Ngorongoro Crater Day Trip

The Ngorongoro Crater is one of the best places in Africa to see wildlife in a short time. It is a large volcanic crater filled with animals, lakes, forests, and open grasslands.

This day trip gives you a chance to spot the Big Five (lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, and leopard), along with zebras, hippos, flamingos, hyenas, and many other animals — all in one day. The crater is also home to the Maasai people, who live around its rim.

Stop at the picnic site near a hippo pool for lunch inside the crater.
