The 1-Day Tanzania Private Safari Tour Overview
This 1-day private safari in Tanzania takes you to Ngorongoro Crater, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The crater is home to a variety of wildlife, including the Big Five - lion, leopard, rhinoceros, elephant, and Cape buffalo. The park's diverse vegetation and stunning landscapes provide a backdrop for an exciting game drive.
After an early morning breakfast in your hotel, we will come to pick you and starting your 1-day Tanzania private safari. It is a travel from Arusha to Ngorongoro Crater for spotting the animals. On this day, we will enjoy a game drive in the crater and stop for a picnic lunch at a small lake within the park. The lake is home to many hippos and migratory birds, so guests will remarkably enjoy the visit! Due to the animal “oasis” created within the crater, there is a high possibility of spotting all the ‘The Big 5’. The group comprises some of the strongest animals in Africa – the ferocious lion, the giant elephant, the stealthy leopard, the charging rhino and the mighty water buffalo.
Ngorongoro Crater is truly an amazing place. Did you know it was formed over two million of years ago? A large volcano erupted, collapsing the volcano, but left a perfectly unbroken crater, known as a caldera. Within the amazing crater you can expect to view the playful zebra, lumbering hippo, swift wildebeest and cackling hyenas.
In addition, there are flocks of graceful flamingos along the Soda Lake, while hungry hawks and vultures circle the sky searching their next meal of discarded carcass. Beautiful storks, ibis, and cranes are popular water birds in the crater, a sight not to miss. After a lovely afternoon of animals sighting, we will finally start our journey back to Arusha.
