Tanzania’s Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s biggest intact caldera and home to 30,000 wild animals, including leopard, elephant, lion, and rare black rhinos.

See flamingo-filled lakes and spot animals roaming the plains while learning about Ngorongoro’s wildlife and geology from your driver-guide. A picnic by a hippo pool and entry fees are included.

With one day in Arusha you can cover key sites, but coordinating transport and activities takes up valuable sightseeing time. Choose a private tour to see and do more in the city, from browsing shops at the Arusha Central Market to checking out tribal traditions in the Cultural Heritage Centre. Door-to-door service means you won’t need to fight Arusha traffic, leaving you free to focus on exploring.
