    After breakfast, you’ll head to Ngorongoro Crater, often called the Eighth Wonder of the World. Your first glimpse of this vast, green caldera comes from a breathtaking panoramic viewpoint. The Ngorongoro Conservation Area is home to diverse wildlife, including the Big Five and over 120 mammal species. It’s one of the best places to spot the endangered black rhinoceros grazing on open grasslands and large hippo pods lounging in the water. From your open-top vehicle, you’ll have incredible opportunities to observe and photograph Africa’s iconic wildlife, from lions, leopards, and cheetahs to wildebeests, zebras, antelopes, and Cape buffalos. After a picnic lunch by the famous hippo pool, you’ll return to Arusha airport and catch your flight back to Zanzibar.
