Itinerary

Start your 1 Day trip to Ngorongoro Crater Early in the morning at 5:30 am, we will depart from Arusha at the crack of dawn for the long but scenic drive to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Along the way, you’ll pass bustling Maasai villages and sweeping plains dotted with acacia and the occasional giraffe or wildebeest.
Upon arrival at the park, you will begin the winding descent into the caldera. The mist-shrouded rainforests of the mountain are home to cape buffalo and baboon troupes, and the particularly lucky might even spot a grazing elephant or a shy leopard moving through the dense green undergrowth. Where over 120 species of mammals go about their lives. The park is the best place in the northern circuit to see the black rhinoceros and the Cape buffalo but is home to the entirety of the Big Five. We’ll also see large packs of hyenas as well as lesser-known predators such as jackals and serval cats.
Across five hours, you’ll see the very best that Africa has to offer. In the late afternoon, with heads full of amazing memories, after you are done with the 1 Day trip to Ngorongoro Crater you’ll return to Arusha.

Incredible trip with an incredible guide

Incredible trip with our incredible guide, Danny. Not the usual safari: we spent time living with the Maasai and explored 3 different parks seeing all the animals (except the leopard - this time!).
