An early start today with a game drive in the Tarangire Park straight after breakfast.

A very early start today as you will drive to the crater rim and descend into the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

To make the most of your day, you will take a pic-nic lunch with you that you will have on the craters floor in a nice spot by one of the lakes.

As the sun starts to set, you will make your way back up to the top of the crater and back to your lodge for your evening meal and reflect on the wonderful sites you have seen.
