After an early breakfast, we head to the famous Ngorongoro Conservation Area. From here we descend 600 meters into the crater to see a variety of wildlife. With year-round access to water and food, Ngorongoro National Park is home to a wide variety of wildlife, including herds of wildebeest and zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants among others. What makes this attraction especially famous is the dense population of predators such as lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs and the ever-elusive leopard, which requires a trained eye to be spotted. We also visited Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwest corner and one of the main features of the crater. A large number of flamingos, hippos and other waterfowl can be found in this lake. Accommodation: Planet Lodge | Meal Plan: Bed & Breakfast.
