After early morning breakfast you will drive and descend into the crater floor for a wonderful game drive (with a picnic lunch) and game viewing. Ngorongoro Crater often described as one of the wonders of the world and designated by UNESCO a World Heritage site, is the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera and a natural sanctuary for some of Africa’s densest animal populations. It is one of the few places where the rare black rhino can be observed in their natural setting. As very few animals migrate in and out of the crater with its 2000 ft. high walls, you can expect to see lions, elephants, zebras, hippos, flamingos, jackals, rhinos, antelopes, many birds and other species. With a bit of luck, the ‘Big Five’ can be spotted during one game drive only. Later, drive further to Karatu for dinner, and overnight at the lodge. Accommodation on full board basis
