Ngorongoro Crater Day Trip

NGORONGORO CRATER DAY TRIP

TRIP OVERVIEW

Embark on a captivating Ngorongoro Crater Floor Day Tour, a journey into the heart of the largest fractured caldera renowned for its grandeur. This natural wonder resides within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority, a sanctuary guarded by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site and designated an International Biosphere Reserve. With its claim to fame as the world’s largest unbroken caldera and the planet’s second-largest dormant crater, it presents an awe-inspiring haven for an incredible array of wildlife.

Ngorongoro, a former active volcano that stirred eight million years ago, bore a cone that eventually collapsed, birthing the colossal crater that graces the present landscape. This remarkable expanse is teeming with an exceptional concentration of wildlife, offering an unrivaled glimpse into the wonders of nature’s harmony.

Surrounding the crater rim is a lush canopy of mountain forest vegetation, adding to the enchantment of the scene. Your journey of discovery will set off from Arusha, the starting point for this expedition into the depths of Ngorongoro’s breathtaking beauty.

Ngorongoro Crater Day Trip

Embark on an early morning odyssey, commencing at 6:30 am from the heart of Arusha town, as you journey towards the remarkable Ngorongoro Crater. Upon reaching the gates, the necessary registration formalities will be fulfilled, paving the way for your captivating descent into the heart of the Ngorongoro Crater for an exceptional safari experience.

Spanning a sprawling 100 square miles, this natural amphitheater becomes a stage for an astonishing symphony of wildlife. As you traverse its expanse, fortune might favor you with glimpses of majestic creatures such as rhinos, elephants, and lions. The landscape comes alive with the graceful movements of zebras and wildebeests, adding a mesmerizing allure to your expedition.

Amidst this captivating journey, a picnic lunch box will accompany you onto the crater floor, sustaining you as you bask in the midst of nature’s grandeur. As the sun gently descends, your time within the crater draws to a close. With the afternoon light waning, you’ll ascend from the depths of the crater, beginning the journey back to Arusha. The evening finds you returning to the town, where you can spend the night in accommodations of your choosing.

Kilimanjaro Lemosho route TTC were amazing throughout my trek to the Kilimanjaro summit in October 2022. Everything was organised so well but the really exceptional aspect was the team of local support staff and guide. AJ, Paul, Isaya, Joseph, Pascal, Renata and the 30 other fantastic people that carried, cooked, camped and cared for us. Absolutely loved every second, a trip of a lifetime, thank you 🙏

Once in a lifetime experience I climbed Kilimanjaro with the Tanzanian Travel Company (booked through Charity Challenge UK) in October 2022. Everything was superbly coordinated by TTC, who arranged everything from porters, transport, food, tents- pretty much everything we needed to get to the summit! All of the staff from the guides and porters were very friendly and their knowledge was unrivalled. Special mentions to our lead guide, Richard, who's advice was invaluable and the other guides and porters David, Eric and Joseph (there are too many to mention). Would definitely book again with TTC in the future.

Excellent experience I just got back from climbing My Kilimanjaro on a trip organised by Charity Challenge in the UK. All the ground arrangements in Tanzania were done through Tanzania Travel Company and I would highly recommend. Staff were all excellent, knowledgeable and friendly. It was a great trip and I’m considering organising a holiday for the family with TTC in the future.

An adventure you won't forget! The whole experience from start to finish was awesome and I most certainly won't forget it. From the hotel to the staff and porters who made our trek possible, the food was tasty and plentiful, we all felt like part of the team and very well looked after.I definitely recommend doing the Lemosho Route for a greater chance of acclimatisation. The summit night was by far the hardest part but well worth the effort (even I got emotional). I would urge everybody looking to climb Kilimanjaro to definitely train for a good 4-5 months before attempting this challenge, it will only enhance the mammoth achievement.

Fantastic time climbing Kilimanjaro thanks to TTC! I recently completed a climb of Kilimanjaro with a small group of 7, managed on behalf of Charity Challenge by Tanzania Travel Company. We had a fantastic (if gruelling) experience, and I cannot praise TTC highly enough. From the MD Sam and our chief guide Richard, through to every guide and porter who accompanied us (not forgetting Pius, our doctor), everyone combined the highest standards of professionalism with warmth and friendliness, and a genuine concern for both our well-being and our success in getting to the summit. Highly recommended.

Amazing family experience Excellent safari! Incredibly friendly and accommodating! I was having some difficulty finding a well priced thorough safari and was given a number by a family friend who highly recommended this safari company. As Tanzanians it’s rare for us to be able to see a safari but Samuel helped guide us through a plan for a truly unforgettable experience. We hide an amazingly well educated guide and driver Kamau who went out of his way to get us some truly amazing shots. At one point we were literally 2-3 meters away from 3 young male lions, I was in shock at what Kamau could point out. Food provided was excellent Tanzanian cuisine. My little brothers(8 yr)first safari and he had a fantastic time Highly recommend as a Tanzanian.

Excellent experience with TTC! Setting out to climb Mt Kilimanjaro was quite a challenge and the team at TTC made it a safe and enjoyable trip! They did an excellent job guiding us through each day of the climb. I also had the opportunity to go on a safari afterwards with a guide named Livingston and he did an absolutely fantastic job getting us close to the animals and knowing the best spots in the game drives. Highly recommend this incredible travel group!
