Day 5: Ngorongoro Crater 

After an early breakfast we will depart to the Ngorongoro Crater for early morning game drive. The Ngorongoro Crater is a world heritage site, the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera and is commonly referred to as the 8th wonder of the world. The 2,000 feet high walls of the approximately 10 miles wide crater form a natural amphitheater for the densest population of large animals anywhere. It is a microcosm of the vast Serengeti National Park and in one day it is possible to see a staggering array of East Africa wildlife including the rare black rhino and massive bull elephants. The Crater is truly awe-inspiring and will surely be one of the highlights of your safari.
