After lunch, we will drive in the direction of the Ngorongoro Crater via Oldupai gorge (optional with extra cost). As soon as you have reached the edge of the crater rim, the crater appears half a mile below, inviting you to gaze at this jaw dropping natural wonders. \u201cOften called the eighth natural wonder of the world, the Ngorongoro Crater is the largest intact crater in the world. About 2 million years ago the Ngorongoro volcano erupted, and its walls collapsed. The volcano floor sank to create a natural enclosure with its 600m tall walls. Now, at over 19 kilometers wide, Ngorongoro Crater is filled with great areas of acacia forest, hippo filled swamps and open grasslands. These different habitats contain over 30,000 animals \u2013 including elephants, warthogs, flamingoes, magnificent birdlife, the rare black rhinoceros and all the predatory cats. The Maasai can also be seen grazing their cattle alongside the buffalo and wildebeest\u201d. Here you will get out of the safari jeep to enjoy the view along the crater rim if time allows. Afterwards, you will proceed to the lodge for evening leisure and hot dinner.<\/p> <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n
