About Ngorongoro
Eight Wonder\": NEARLY two million years ago, Ngorongoro
Peak towered
almost as high as Kilimanjaro. Both these Mountains formed
the highest peaks in Africa at that time. The Ngorongoro
Volcanic peak collapsed beneath the volcano to form a
caldera, the largest unbroken and unflooded in the world
today. Although a geological feature formed by the
withdrawal of molten in this manner is correctly called a
caldera, many people are traditionally used to the term
Crater and hence Ngorongoro Caldera is described as crater
in all the records available. Ngorongoro Crater is one of
the few natural places in East Africa where one can
guarantee sightings of the rare black rhino in their natural
setting. Visitors to Ngorongoro can enjoy walking around the
area. Long walking safaris and short hikes are both
adventurous and rewarding. Within the Ngorongoro
Conservation Area are ore about the cultures and traditions
of the Maasai, a pastoral tribe allowed to herd their cattle
within the protected area.
Day 6: Ngorongoro Crater:
After breakfast drive to Ngororngoro Conservation Area with
your lunch box, descend into the crater floor for full day
game viewing. The crater is rich in wildlife and the day
will be filled with sights and sounds of the wild echoing
within the crater walls.
Your packed lunch will be served on the crater floor at the
picnic site near Lerai forest or hippo pool. Many crater
visitors want to see rare species, “the Black rhinoceros’,
this is the right time, because during the dry season is
very hard to see them as they are afraid of sun burn. Late
afternoon ascend the crater and then drive to Arusha for
your dinner and overnight
Meals: Full Board
Accommodation: Meru Simba Lodge.
Day 7: Arusha National Park - back home:
In the morning drive to Arusha national park for game
viewing. At 12:30 return to your lodge for Lunch and there
