The vastness of the Ngorongoro Crater and its thriving wildlife will leave you amazed!
After breakfast, you leave for a Ngorongoro Conservation Area tour. The central feature of this conservation area is the Ngorongoro crater which was formed by a volcanic eruption in the prehistoric times and is now a vast expanse of land and a habitat for wildlife. The crater houses two lakes, Ndutu and Masek, which are an integral water source for the animals in this area. The large mammals found here are the black rhino, hippopotamus, wildebeest, elephant, lion and buffalo.
The region is also culturally and historically important as it is the home of the Maasai tribe. The government allows only the people of this tribe to reside in the conservation area. Recent excavations in the reserve have brought forth evidence of hominid remains, which are over 1.8 million years old. These remains are an important link in the human evolutionary process. After lunch at the lodge you could do an optional crater rim walk or relax at the lodge.
Ngorongoro Crater Lodge is dramatically beautiful, and often referred to as the eighth world wonder. Perched at the edge of the Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania, this exclusive luxury lodge enjoys spectacular views of the World Heritage Site in which it stands.
