2 Days Ngorongoro Lodge Safari

You will be picked up at your hotel and will head to Ngorongoro. Along the way, you will see the colourfully dressed Maasai in their round huts known as bomas. After a five-hour drive along the breathtaking scenery of the East African Rift and the hills of the Karatu District, you reach Tanzania’s jewel, the Ngorongoro Crater. The view point next to the memorial stone of Michael Grzimek provides a wide view of the gigantic caldron. Its diameter is up to 20 kilometres at some points. Depending on the season, the Ngorongoro Crater has between 15,000 and 25,000 animals. You have a good chance of spotting the “big five” (lion, hippo, elephant, buffalo and leopard). Considering the space, a comparatively large amount of grazers live in this naturally enclosed animal reserve. It is a good food base for more than 100 lions. Its deepest point is the Lake Magadi Salt Lake. Depending on the season, its level increases and attracts numerous flamingos. Hippos move around in the surrounding Mandusi and Gorigor swamps, which are fed by the rivers of the crater highlands.
