Day-by-Day Itinerary
Arusha to Ngorongoro Crater
5:30 AM. An early start from Arusha for the three-hour drive west to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The road climbs through farmland, then into misty highland forest as you reach the crater rim at 2,200 metres. Your first view of the caldera is breathtaking: a vast bowl, 20 kilometres across and 600 metres deep, its floor a patchwork of grassland, marsh, and shimmering Lake Magadi. Descend to the crater floor where lion prides lounge near the marsh, bull elephants cross the grassland, and herds of buffalo graze alongside zebra. Search for critically endangered black rhinos — around 30 live here. Flamingos fringe the lakeshore in brilliant pink. Enjoy a picnic lunch near the hippo pool, then spend four to five hours exploring before ascending and driving back to Arusha by early evening.
