Early breakfast then departs toward the Ngorongoro crater floor a for crater tour. Ranked as one of the most spectacular wildlife destinations on Earth, this long-extinct volcano is the world’s largest intact caldera. Sheltering within its steep-sided walls are diverse habitats, including permanent wetlands, which support astonishing numbers of animals. Ngorongoro has long protected a thriving population of big game species: great-tusked elephants, robust black rhinos, and famous black-maned lions.
This is one of the few places in Africa where the Big 5 can be seen in a single-game drive. Herds of gazelle, wildebeest, and zebra are resident here while smaller predators like caracal and serval cats are often seen along with lions and their eternal enemies, spotted hyenas.
