Description

Explore the Ngorongoro Crater on a day trip from Arusha. Discover the unique ecosystem of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and see an abundance of wildlife in a relatively compact area. Start your day with a pickup from your hotel in Arusha and head to the Ngorongoro Crater. Known as the “Eighth Wonder of the World,” the crater is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the largest volcanic calderas on the planet. Enjoy a game drive in the crater and see the Big Five — lions, leopards, elephants, buffalo, and rhinoceroses — all in one place. The crater floor is home to nearly 30,000 animals, and due to its relatively small size, the wildlife is easy to spot, even on a short visit. See the unique geological formation of the Ngorongoro Crater, which was formed millions of years ago when a massive volcano collapsed after an eruption, creating a vast, bowl-shaped depression. The crater's floor is surrounded by steep walls that rise to 2,000 feet, and the fertile soil within supports a rich and diverse ecosystem. The landscape of the crater is varied, featuring lush grasslands, swamps, forested areas, and soda lakes, each providing habitats for different species of animals. The incredible geological beauty combined with abundant wildlife makes the crater one of the most stunning places to visit.
