Ngorongoro Crater — Full Day Crater Floor Safari
The world's largest intact volcanic caldera — a natural amphitheatre of wildlife
Tour Overview
The Ngorongoro Crater is one of nature's most extraordinary creations — a collapsed volcanic caldera 20 km wide containing a self-sustaining ecosystem of over 25,000 large animals. This full-day safari takes you down to the crater floor. The density of wildlife here is unmatched — you might see lion, elephant, buffalo, and black rhino (one of the few places in Tanzania where sightings are reliable) within a single game drive. The crater is also home to flamingo-fringed lakes, hippo pools, and some of the largest-tusked elephants in East Africa. The view from the rim at sunrise — looking down into this natural amphitheatre teeming with wildlife — is one of the most breathtaking sights in Africa.
