Safari summary

This 1 day short Tanzania safari starts from Arusha town and takes you to the Ngorongoro wonder which is most famous around the world for it's panorama view of the Crater which is 264sq km with a depth of 610 meters from sea level.
Tanzania’s Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s biggest intact caldera and home to 30,000 wild animals, including leopards, elephants, lions, and rare black rhinos. Grab the chance for a game drive without any worries about transportation from Arusha on this small-group excursion.
It is the natural habitat of more than 25,000 large mammals, including elephants, lions, leopards, hyenas, jackal, waterbuck and baboons.

The wildlife take advantage of the year-round water supply and there’s a chance you might even spot a rare black rhino (with a bit of luck and the help of the excellent eyesight of your driver/guide). Ngorongoro is not just home to the wildlife: the iconic Maasai people choose to graze their cattle here too. This happy cohabitation of man and beast is what makes Ngorongoro unique in Tanzania.

An interesting fact about Ngorongoro Crater
The Ngorongoro Crater is thought to have formed about 2.5 million years ago when an active volcano's cone collapsed inward after a massive eruption. The enormous, unbroken caldera we see today is the main remnant of this implosion.

What is the best time to visit Ngorongoro?
The dry season from June to October is generally the most popular time to visit the Crater. During this time there is less rain and the grass cover is short making wildlife viewing and wildlife photography easier. Wildlife frequents the lakes and watering holes making it easier to spot them
