Ngorongoro Crater Day Trip itinerary
Your journey begins with an early morning departure from Arusha, embarking on a 3-hour drive to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Upon arrival, you’ll descend into the crater floor, which spans approximately 260 square kilometers and is home to an estimated 25,000 large mammals. Spend the morning exploring the diverse habitats, including grasslands, swamps, and forests, in search of lions, elephants, buffaloes, rhinos, and an array of other wildlife. Around midday, enjoy a picnic lunch at a scenic spot within the crater, often near a hippo pool. After lunch, continue with an afternoon game drive, maximizing your chances of encountering the crater’s unique fauna. As the day concludes, ascend from the crater and begin your return journey to Arusha, arriving in the early evening with unforgettable memories of your Ngorongoro adventure.
