What to Expect
- Floor of the largest intact caldera
- Chance of black rhino
- High wildlife density
- Early descent from rim or Karatu
A crater game drive descends around 600 metres to the floor of the Ngorongoro Crater, an enclosed grassland, swamp and lake supporting a dense concentration of wildlife. Lion, elephant, buffalo, hippo and flamingo are commonly seen, and the crater offers one of the better chances of spotting the endangered black rhino.
Drives usually start early from the rim or from Karatu.
