Ngorongoro Crater
Ngorongoro
Arusha National Park, located conveniently near Arusha and Moshi, is ideal for a day safari. The park's diverse landscapes, from open savannah to lush tropical rainforest, are dominated by the impressive Mt. Meru, offering stunning views of Mt. Kilimanjaro.
The alkaline Makat Lake is a prime spot to see vibrant flamingos, while the Ngorongoro Picnic Area offers a unique view of hippos. On the crater’s outskirts, leopards and rhinos can often be spotted in the forested slopes, and playful baboons forage nearby. The Maasai people, who live alongside the wildlife, add a unique cultural element to the area. Nearby attractions like Olmoti Crater, Lake Ndutu, and the Ol Doinyo Lengai Volcano provide additional opportunities for exploration, making Ngorongoro a must-visit destination.
