After early breakfast at the lodge, descend into the crater for an in-depth exploration of this distinctive eco-system. Enjoy abundant wildlife viewing set against the impressive backdrop of the Ngorongoro Crater, the heart of the conservation area. These drives provide one of the best opportunities in Africa to view Black Rhino, which tend to spend their time on the crater floor.
Another big draw card to this Picturesque Caldera, is its dense population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, Serval cat as well as the African wild cat which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot.
