Ngorongoro Crater is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most popular tourist destinations in Tanzania. It is a large volcanic caldera that was formed over two million years ago when a massive volcano erupted and collapsed in on itself.

Your game drive will include a packed lunch, so you can enjoy a picnic in the heart of the crater and soak up the stunning surroundings. As the day draws to a close, you will return to your accommodations for dinner and an overnight stay in Ngorongoro.

The crater is surrounded by steep walls that provide a natural barrier, making it a natural enclosure for the wildlife within. This makes it an excellent location for game viewing, and visitors can expect to see large herds of animals grazing on the grassy plains, or stalking their prey in the surrounding forests. The crater is also home to a number of lakes and streams, which provide vital water sources for the animals.

In addition to its rich wildlife, Ngorongoro Crater is also known for its stunning scenery, with panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and plains. Visitors can enjoy game drives, guided walks, and cultural tours, as well as overnight stays in the crater or nearby lodges. It is truly a unique and unforgettable destination for anyone interested in wildlife and natural beauty.

During the cultural tour, you will have the opportunity to interact with these tribes, learn about their customs, and experience their way of life.
