Program 1 day Ngorongoro from Arusha

Once you are at the edge of the Crater, you wind your way down into the caldera, with the most breathtaking views along the way. Armed with your guide’s years of experience and his ‘eagle-eyes’, you might even encounter rhino. The chance of seeing an active pride of lions at close quarters is high on the list of possibilities. At the Hippo Pool, you will enjoy all the sights and sounds of the ‘laughing’ hippos enjoying a wallow in the cool water and a mud-bath.

A dream fulfilled!
Chris was very attentive and was a good spotter of animals. As a result I managed to see the Big 5. My wife had an incident with her luggage and Chris assisted after hours. Highly recommended!!
