3 Days Ngorongoro Crater Safari – Eden of Africa
Day 1: Arusha – Drive to Ngorongoro Conservation Area
Depart Arusha in the morning and enjoy a scenic drive through Tanzania’s highlands, passing coffee farms and traditional villages en route to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (approx. 3.5–4 hours). Arrive at your lodge perched on the crater rim or nearby, with panoramic views stretching across the collapsed volcano. Enjoy lunch and leisure time before a relaxing evening, dinner, and overnight stay.
Day 2: Full-Day Game Drive in Ngorongoro Crater
After an early breakfast, descend into the Ngorongoro Crater for a full-day game drive in one of the most wildlife-rich safari destinations in Africa. Spot lions, elephants, zebras, flamingos, hyenas, and if lucky, the endangered black rhino. Enjoy a picnic lunch by a hippo pool, then continue exploring before returning to the lodge in the late afternoon. Watch the sunset over the rim and enjoy a cozy dinner.
Day 3: Cultural Visit (Optional) – Return to Arusha
After breakfast, visit a nearby Maasai village for cultural insights or enjoy a final view of the crater before starting your return drive to Arusha. Arrive in the afternoon with drop-off at your hotel or airport. Optional flight extensions to the Serengeti, Zanzibar, or Lake Manyara can be arranged.
