1-DAY safari tour NGORONGORO CRATER


EXPERIENCE A SPECTACULAR TASTE OF TANZANIA IN OUR UNFORGETTABLE 1-DAY SAFARI EXPERIENCE WITHIN THE BREATHTAKING NGORONGORO CRATER.

This wonderful whistle-stop tour will provide an unbeatable opportunity to discover the crater in all its glory, while also allowing you to observe the legendary Big 5 through an exhilarating 5-hour game drive extravaganza.

Ngorongoro Crater, along with the encompassing Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area, is a remarkable destination to visit. It is not only famous for being the largest intact caldera in the world, but it is also a distinguished UNESCO World Heritage site and a meticulously maintained Biosphere reserve that is home to a diverse array of wildlife species concentrated in a relatively small region.

The unique species that inhabit this area call the Crater their permanent home, as the steep crater walls create a natural barrier that prevents many animals from leaving (although some legendary lions have done so in the past). You can learn more about these fascinating stories on our tour, but most species choose to remain within this enchanting wonderland, which offers ample nourishment and abundant food sources. The Crater rim is adorned with mountainous forestry and lush, vibrant flora and fauna, creating an idyllic backdrop for an action-packed 1-day safari adventure. This captivating day safari is perfect for anyone looking to add the majestic Crater to their existing itinerary, or for those who simply want to experience the highlights of a safari within a single day—even travelers eager to visit what many consider to be the seventh wonder of the world.
