Transfer: Serengeti to Ngorongoro (approx. 2 hours).
Start your day early with breakfast before departing on a scenic game-drive transfer to the Ngorongoro Crater. Get opportunities along the way to stop and spot wildlife in the surrounding plains.
Ngorongoro, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is the world’s largest unflooded volcanic caldera, about 20 km wide, 600 m deep, and covering roughly 300 square km. This breathtaking natural wonder is home to an incredible concentration of wildlife. You’ll visit Lake Magadi, a shallow alkaline lake located in the crater’s southwestern corner, where black rhinos, hippos, flamingos, and other waterbirds are commonly seen.
The game drive will conclude around 4:00 pm. Afterwards, we’ll drive to your lodge (approximately 45 minutes from the Ngorongoro gate) for dinner and an overnight stay. We recommend departing early to make the most of your lodge’s facilities, such as the swimming pool and relaxing lounges.
Activity of the day: Game drive.
