Your safari begins with a pick-up from your hotel or airport, ideally following a morning flight. As you drive to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, often called the “Garden of Eden,” you'll take in breathtaking views along the way. Upon arrival, enjoy lunch in the wilderness before heading on a Ngorongoro Crater drive, descending 600 metres to the crater floor. Here, you’ll encounter a diverse array of wildlife, including the Big Five, along with flocks of pink flamingos at Lake Magadi. After your game drive, relax at your lodge and enjoy dinner.
