After lunch at your lodge, you will drive to Ngorongoro Crater, the world’s largest intact caldera.
Ngorongoro is a deep crater created by the collapsed cone of a volcano. It contains a hidden world of wildlife – a true Garden of Eden. A beautiful highland forest covers the 2,000-foot-deep sheer sides of the caldera, a spectacular barrier encircling and protecting the plains wildlife living on the crater floor.

Although the floor is only 100 square miles, it is home to around 30,000 animals -zebra, wildebeest, gazelle, buffalo, eland, hartebeest, wart hog, and elephant, to name just a few, along with a high concentration of predators, including leopard and some of the finest black-maned lions in Africa.

Thousands of flamingos flutter and shimmer like a pink heat haze on the soda lake in the middle of the crater. You may spot the rare and elusive black rhinoceros, one of Africa’s most endangered species. Take great photographs of the wildlife against the spectacular backdrop of the crater’s forest covered walls.
