Day 3 Serengeti to Ngorongoro crater

After breakfast at the lodge/camp, we depart to Ngorongoro Conservation area. We will have an optional stopover at Olduvai Gorge. This area is boasting with a history dating back to the dawn of time. It was here that the anthropologists Drs. Lois and Mary Leakey discovered the skulls of ‘Nutcracker Man’ and ‘Handy Man’, both very significant links in the chain of human evolution.

We arrive at the crater entry in time for lunch due to slow drive with game drive enroute. We will then descend over 600 meters into the bottom of the crater to view wildlife for a half day’s safari tour. Supported by a year round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro crater supports a vast variety of animals. This makes game drives at the crater unique and rewarding with great opportunity to see large number of animals at small area. Some of the most though animals include herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants. Another big draw card to this picturesque national park, is it’s dense population of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs and the ever-elusive leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot. We will visit Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner, which is one of the main features of the crater. A large number of flamingos, hippos and other water birds can usually been seen here.

After our game drive we ascend out and drive to our lodge for refreshing moments, dinner and overnight.
