We will drive 2 hrs. Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Ngorongoro crater is the largest unbroken, unflooded volcanic caldera in the world. It is a scenic showstopper that extends across an astonishing 260 square kilometers. The crater is hemmed in on all sides by sheer craggy walls that rise up to 600m above the floor. The view from the lushly forested rim is utterly stupendous and would justify a visit to Ngorongoro in its own right. But this spectacular crater also stands as one of Africa’s most alluring safari destinations, supporting solid populations of all of the Big Five (elephant, lion, leopard, black rhino and buffalo), plus a host of other iconic large mammals, in a lush and scenic landscape that frequently draws comparisons to the metaphorical “Garden of Eden”.

Maasai, Africa's undoubtedly most famed tribal people. Their brightly coloured wraps, distinctive dance and song as well as the iconic circular bomas are a lifetime memory to hold on. Don't miss the opportunity to visit a Maasai village between Ngorongoro and the Serengeti National Park. Join them in their infectious dance, seize the opportunity to see the day to day life of a Maasai village, and purchase some locally made jewelry to adorn Traditionally, the Maasai people are recognizable by their distinct attire. Women spend much of their spare time doing beadwork, and they often adorn their bodies with their creations as well as bracelets and earrings of wood or bone. Many authentic Maasai villages do not welcome tourists, but tourist-friendly villages and markets welcome those wishing to purchase Maasai goods or meet with Maasai people
