The crater floor contains grasslands, wetlands, forests and other habitats that support a large variety of wildlife.

Your guide will search for wildlife and explain the animals, landscape and ecosystem throughout the drive.
Enjoy a picnic lunch during the safari at an approved picnic area.
You can relax, have lunch and enjoy the surrounding scenery before continuing with the game drive.
After lunch, continue exploring the crater for more wildlife viewing and photography.
Later in the afternoon, begin the ascent out of the crater and start the journey back toward Moshi.
Arrive back in Moshi in the evening and receive a drop-off at your hotel.
The exact return time depends on road conditions, wildlife viewing time and the day’s safari schedule.

Ngorongoro can be visited throughout the year.
The dry season is popular for wildlife viewing because animals are often easier to spot around water sources and open areas.
The green season can also provide beautiful scenery, fewer visitors in some periods and excellent birdwatching opportunities.
Your safari guide will help maximize the wildlife-viewing experience regardless of the season.
A 1-day Ngorongoro safari from Moshi is a long day because of the distance involved. An early departure is recommended to allow enough time for the crater game drive.
Wildlife sightings are not guaranteed because animals move naturally throughout the conservation area.
The safari itinerary can be adjusted according to road conditions, weather, park regulations and wildlife conditions.
