Breakfast at the Serengeti Sopa Lodge. Depart from your lodge with picnic lunch boxes, and head towards Ngorongoro crater, passing the Olduvai Gorge en-route. When you reach the Ngorongoro Highlands, continue to ascend the exterior of the crater reaching its rim and catch your first glimpse of what has often been referred to as the "Eighth Wonder of the World".

Ngorongoro Crater

After breakfast, descend the inner wall of the crater to its floor 2,000 feet below. Here is the best game viewing Africa has to offer. The unique eco-system supports a delicate balance of predator and prey in their endless quest for survival. You can carry a picnic lunch to be enjoyed by the hippo pool. As the sun nears the crater's west rim, return to the comforts of Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge for dinner & overnight.
