Ngorongoro Crater Day Trip

Safari summary

Ngorongoro Crater is one of Africa’s most breathtaking natural wonders and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Formed over two million years ago from the collapse of a giant volcano, it is the world’s largest intact and unfilled volcanic caldera. Spanning approximately 260 square kilometers (100 square miles) and encircled by towering walls over 600 meters high, the crater forms a unique ecosystem teeming with wildlife.

Home to over 25,000 large animals, the Crater offers a high chance of spotting the Big Five – lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, and leopard – all in a single day. It also features diverse habitats, from open grasslands and freshwater lakes to dense forests and swamps, supporting a wide array of species including hippos, zebras, wildebeests, flamingos, and hyenas.

Often called the “Eighth Wonder of the World,” Ngorongoro Crater is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking dramatic scenery, exceptional game viewing, and a deep connection with nature's beauty.
