- Ngorongoro Crater
Description
A Ngorongoro Crater Day Tour offers a once-in-a-lifetime safari experience in one of the world’s most stunning natural wonders. Often referred to as the “Garden of Eden,” the Ngorongoro Crater is a UNESCO World Heritage site and the largest unbroken caldera on Earth. Home to a wide variety of wildlife, including the Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino—this wildlife-rich destination also houses wildebeest, zebras, and over 500 bird species. The unique wild species are permanent residents of the crater area, as the steep crater walls protect the animals within the small crater region.
On this day tour, visitors will enjoy exciting game drives across the crater floor, experiencing breathtaking views and vibrant wildlife up close. The Ngorongoro Crater is a perfect location for photography, birdwatching, and discovering Africa’s natural beauty in one of the world’s most unique landscapes. The crater rim is an ideal safari destination to cover in a day, and travel enthusiasts are eager to visit the seventh wonder of the world.
