The whole crater floor in a single day, with your own guide and your own 4x4. The shortest route to the Big Five in Tanzania.
Ngorongoro is one of the few places left in Tanzania where you have a real chance of seeing one.
Lion, buffalo, elephant and rhino live on the crater floor year round. Leopard on the forested rim.
Thousands of them on the soda lake in the middle of the caldera.
Pop-top Land Cruiser, a window seat each, and a guide who answers to you alone.
A full day from Arusha with pickup and return included. Your exact pickup time is confirmed with you when you book, and your guide adjusts the day to the wildlife.
We collect you from your hotel and drive out past Lake Manyara towards the highlands, with coffee on the way.
First sight of the caldera from 2,200 metres up. On a clear morning you can see the whole floor at once.
Into the largest intact volcanic caldera on earth, 260 square kilometres of grassland, forest and lake.
Lion prides, buffalo herds, elephant bulls with heavy tusks, and the rhino if the morning is kind.
Lunch beside the hippo pool, with the crater walls on every horizon.
The climb out of the caldera, then the road home.
"Welcomed at Kilimanjaro Airport by the Gardenia team, our driver-guide was excellent, every view more meaningful. The Ngorongoro Crater was truly breathtaking."
