crater floor consists of a number of different habitats that include
grassland, swamps, forests and Lakes filled by the Munge River. All these
various environments attract wildlife to drink, wallow, graze, hide or
climb.
The crater offers a breathtakingly beautiful scenery and is the best place
in East Africa to see the ‘Big Five’ (elephant, rhinoceros, buffalo, lion
and rarely leopard). Any safari in northern Tanzania should ideally include
a visit to the Ngorongoro Crater. It is one of the most beautiful nature
safari locations in the world and an extraordinary place to meet people from
the Massai tribe.
The Ngorongoro Crater offers excellent birding, with over 500 species. You
will have packed picnic lunch boxes with you and after having lunch at the
picnic site, you will proceed with game drive until the late afternoon where
