Stop At: Ngorongoro Crater, Ngorongoro Conservation Area Tanzania
From our accommodation, we set off after breakfast, a 6am departure to reach the rim and then descend into the vast crater itself. At one side there’s the Lerai Forest, classic mountain forest landscape with almost tropical characteristics. This is good elephant country, so keep your eyes peeled. By the side of the nearby swampland is what is sometimes called the ‘elephant graveyard’ as the mighty male tuskers at the end of their lives come to chew on the soft, swampland grasses once their teeth have failed them.
After our game drive in Ngorongoro’s incredible crater, we will enjoy our lunch before we set out southwards for Tarangire National Park, a journey time of 4-hours (199km).

The varied terrain in itself could be considered a wonder, with riverine woodlands and grasslands, acacia, and baobab. Amazingly, some 550 bird species have been recorded here, and it won’t be long before an air-bound blaze of color alerts you to something interesting. You might recognize an ostrich or a stork, but if you can’t identify the smaller species, there’s no need to worry – that is what your expert driver-guide is here for!
