Then head to the central park area, known as the Seronera area, one of the richest wildlife habitats in the park, featuring the Seronera River, which provides a valuable water source to this area and therefore attracts wildlife well representative of most of the Serengeti’s species.

Upon reaching the crater rim, enjoy breathtaking views of this natural wonder. The Ngorongoro Crater, the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera, formed over two million years ago. Spanning 19 km wide with 600m high walls, it hosts diverse habitats, including forests, swamps, and grasslands. Home to over 30,000 animals, it features elephants, rhinos, lions, flamingoes, and the Maasai herding cattle alongside wildlife. If time allows, step out to admire the view before heading to the lodge for dinner.

Supported by a year-round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro conservation Area supports a vast variety of animals, which includes lions, zebras, flocks of flamingos, elephants, giraffes just to mention a few. Ngorongoro is often referred as the eighth natural wonder, it has been listed as a UNESCO site which is considered the most beautiful and unique place in Africa where man and wildlife stays together in one area, we will visit Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner, which is one of the main features of the crater. A large number of flamingos, hippos and other water birds can usually be seen here. We will stop at a nice picnic area for our lunch break and there after we continue with game drive while heading off ascending to the top and transfer to Arusha or Kilimanjaro international airport for your flight back home.
