Be sure to rise early today to make the most of your descent into the iconic Ngorongoro Crater. Upon entering the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, you'll be awestruck by the stunning beauty that surrounds you, especially as you reach the crater’s edge and gaze upon one of the world’s natural wonders. The Ngorongoro Crater, an ancient, inactive volcano about 3 million years old and covering 20 square kilometers, is the largest unbroken volcanic caldera on Earth.

Thanks to its natural borders, the crater is home to an incredible array of wildlife. It's one of the best places to see the Big Five, with a good chance of spotting the rare black rhino. Add to that the presence of hyenas, zebras, buffaloes, and elephants, and you’ll find yourself immersed in the ultimate safari experience. After a day filled with breathtaking wildlife encounters, you'll head to Karatu for a well-deserved overnight rest.

You’ll wake up to the stunning backdrop of the Ngorongoro Highlands and enjoy a hearty breakfast.

As you travel along the rugged road, you’ll be captivated by the Maasai people in their brightly colored attire, adorned with intricate beadwork, all set against a backdrop of Aloe Vera and Candelabra trees. As the terrain shifts to dry grasslands dotted with whistling-thorn Acacias, you'll begin to see the distinctive silhouette of the volcano rising in the distance.

In the final stretch of the journey, the landscape transforms once again into a dramatic lava desert, with a highly alkaline lake nestled in the Rift Valley depression. Upon your arrival at Africa Safari Lake Natron, the staff will warmly welcome you, offering a delicious meal and a peaceful night.

This morning, lace up your walking shoes for an exciting excursion around the shores of Lake Natron, guided by a Maasai people. As you explore, keep an eye out for the lesser flamingos, as Lake Natron is one of East Africa’s most important breeding grounds for these stunning birds. During the breeding season, the lake can host up to 2.5 million flamingos, with the peak period for egg-laying and hatching occurring between October and early December.

While the lake is home to a few other bird species, its highly alkaline waters limit biodiversity. After your walk, you’ll have the rest of the day at your leisure—whether you choose to relax, enjoy a refreshing swim in the pool, or simply take in the breathtaking views of the still-active Ol Doinyo Lengai volcano.

Your meals and overnight stay will be at Africa Safari Lake Natron, where you can unwind and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
