Day 11 - Ngorongoro Crater

After breakfast you will descend into the crater where you will be spending a full day. It is estimated that more than 30,000 animals are to be found within the crater wall at any one time. Because the crater floor is mostly flat grassland, with patches of acacia woodland, game viewing is excellent. Game here includes wildebeest, zebra, hartebeest, Thomson's and Grant's gazelles, lions, hyenas, buffalo, hippo and black rhino. There are no giraffes because the walls are too steep for them to access in and out of the crater. Return to the lodge for dinner and overnight.
