The Ngorongoro Crater also referred to as the 8th wonder of the world or the Eden of Africa is a unique wildlife area owing to its 600-meter walls that make a natural (zoo-like) enclosure to thousands of animals with the highest concentration of animals in a single area in the world.

The Crater walls act like a barrier denying thousands of animals the chance to escape, more notably the Big five including the Lions, Elephants, Buffaloes, Leopards and the Black Rhino which thrive in this area. Other animals that can be spotted easily and at close range in the Ngorongoro Crater include the zebras, silver back jackals, hyenas, impalas, topis, hartebeests, gazelles, and much other more.

The Lake Makat in the centre of the Crater floor is a home for flamingos and other aquatic birds like the Egyptian geese and others. Lunch will be taken at the hippo poolside or at any of the campsites at the Crater floor then you will ascend up and rive out of the Conservation area before the lapse of your permits time. You will then drive back to Arusha town where your safari ends arriving in Arusha in the late afternoon / early evening.
