Ngorongoro Crater
Descend into the Ngorongoro Crater for a morning game drive in this unique ecosystem. The crater floor is home to a high concentration of wildlife, including all of the Big Five. The enclosed nature of the crater means animals are easier to spot than in the open plains. Enjoy a picnic lunch at the hippo pool. Begin your journey back to Kilimanjaro International Airport, arriving in time for your evening departure flight. This marks the end of your unforgettable Grumeti River Crossing Safari.
