A LITTLE CLOSER

The experience

Make a day of Ngorongoro’s changing views, from the crater rim to the floor below. Follow a game-drive route with time to observe wildlife and take in the setting, then enjoy a picnic before the return climb. Asili Pathways will shape the start time around your lodge location.

HOW THE DAY UNFOLDS

A day, your way.

A suggested flow, adjusted to your starting point and conditions.

  1. Early morning

    Leave your hotel, complete entry formalities and descend into the crater when permitted.

  2. Morning to midday

    Explore the crater floor with your guide, stopping for wildlife and photography as opportunities arise.

  3. Afternoon

    Enjoy a picnic and continue the game drive within permitted visiting hours before ascending and returning to your lodge.

Before you go

An Arusha departure is a longer day than a Karatu departure. Exact timings and crater access must be confirmed; animal sightings are not guaranteed.

Make a little more of it

Plan Olduvai Gorge or a crater rim walk as an extension when the route allows.
