After breakfast, you will drive to Ngorongoro Conservation & descend 600 meters into the crater floor for a game drive. Ngorongoro Crater is a rich area with enough water & fodder to support a variety of animal species which includes herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippos, and giant African elephants. The Crater is home to some rare species of black rhino living in their natural habitat perhaps this is among the few areas where you can see black rhinos in the natural wilderness.
Another interesting part of this picturesque Caldera is its denser population of predators, which include lions, cheetahs, hyenas, Jackals, and the ever-mysterious leopard that sometimes needs a binocular eye to spot. You will visit Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline Lake in the southwestern corner frequently visited by hippos, flocks of flamingos, and other water birds.
