Morning:
After an early breakfast, check out and drive to the Ngorongoro Crater (approx. 1:30 hours by road).
Upon arrival, descend into the Ngorongoro Crater, one of the most biodiverse places on Earth and a UNESCO World Heritage site. The crater floor is home to a variety of wildlife, including the Big Five: lions, elephants, buffaloes, rhinos, and leopards.
Your game drive in the crater will take you through diverse landscapes, including Lake Magadi, which often hosts flamingos and other bird species.
Afternoon:
Enjoy a picnic lunch in the crater or at a designated picnic spot near the crater rim.
Continue your game drive after lunch, exploring more of the crater floor to spot additional wildlife.
Late Afternoon:
After ascending from the crater, drive to Karatu (approximately 30 minutes). Karatu is a town on the crater’s edge, often used as a base for visitors going to Ngorongoro. Check into your lodge in Karatu.
Evening:
Enjoy dinner at your lodge and relax after an exciting day of game drives.
Overnight stay in Karatu.
