6th Day, Ngorongoro

Breakfast at the camp. Today we will descend the crater, a huge volcanic caldera formed about two and a half million years ago by the collapse of the now inactive volcano. A twenty-kilometer-wide amphitheater with six-hundred-meter-high walls that is home to an incredible amount of animals, including precisely the "big five" or "big five": elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo and rhinoceros. The latter, although present in the Serengeti, where it is rarely sighted and only from a distance, can be well observed in the crater. The show continues with wildebeest, buffalo, cheetah, zebra, hyena and more, and a wide variety of birds including thousands of pink flamingos, buzzards, hawks, ostriches and eagles. The crater, in a way, offers everything the animals need, a kind of paradise on earth, but it can also be a source of greater and bloody struggles for survival. As an alternative to picnic lunch, possibility to arrange, with extra charge, lunch at the edge of the crater. Late afternoon return camp, dinner and overnight stay.
