Tanzania game drive safaris in East Africa tours: Ngorongoro Crater

Game drives in Tanzania safaris are a must for any tourist who wishes to come to East Africa for  safari tours. Ngorongoro Crater is one of the wonders of the natural world.

An extinct volcano that collapsed around 25 million years ago thus forming a vast super bowl where the largest permanent concentration of African game is on display. The views from the top of the crater wall are absolutely breathtaking which are forested but our four wheel drive vehicles will take you down into this primeval paradise of woodland, lake, river, swamp and plain that shelters around 20,000 animals.

Large grazing animals such as wildebeest, buffalo, gazelle and zebra depend on the open grasslands in the crater. Attracting predators, the black-maned lion, the leopard and hyena. The elephant found are the lone males.

The Fever Tree forests shelter monkeys, bushbuck and waterbuck and the few black rhino that have taken refuge here. A soda lake attracts water birds, including flamingoes and is a favorite place for predators to make their kill. Wildly beautiful as it is, it is not surprising that Ngorongoro Crater has been called a Garden of Eden.

The game drives are done with packed lunch included.

In the evening, ascend back to the lodge for dinner and overnight at Ngorongoro Serena Lodge or Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge
