After a beautiful breakfast at your accommodation in the Southern Serengeti “Ndutu” you will be driving straight to Ngorongoro crater for the full day game drive inside the Ngorongoro crater, The Ngorongoro Conservation Area is the largest unbroken, unflooded volcanic caldera in the world. It is a scenic showstopper that extends across an astonishing 260 square kilometres. The crater is hemmed in on all sides by sheer craggy walls that rise up to 600m above the floor. The view from the lushly forested rim is utterly stupendous and would justify a visit to Ngorongoro in its own right. But this spectacular crater also stands as one of Africaโ€™s most alluring safari destinations, supporting solid populations of all of the Big Five (elephant, lion, leopard, black rhino and buffalo), plus a host of other iconic large mammals, in a lush and scenic landscape that frequently draws comparisons to the metaphorical โ€œGarden of Edenโ€. after the crater tour, you will ascend the crater to Karatu for your dinner and overnight stay.
