Begin your day with an early descent into the Ngorongoro Crater, often called “Africa’s Eden” and the “8th Natural Wonder of the World.” This ancient volcanic caldera, nearly three million years old, is home to a rich variety of wildlife including zebra, wildebeest, buffalo, antelope, and the rare black rhino. Lions bask in the morning sun as mist blankets the lush crater floor. Surrounded by steep walls, the crater shelters forests, grasslands, springs, and a soda lake. After a thrilling day of game viewing, leave the crater in the late afternoon and return to Arusha for dinner and overnight. Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch.
