Following breakfast, head towards the Ngorongoro Highlands, up the rift, with opportunities to savour the spectacular view back down into Lake Manyara and beyond. This journey is all on tarmac road, passing through the town of Karatu (now booming since the construction of the road). Karatu is an interesting place and now has internet café’s and banks. So, if you need a convenience stop, this is the place. Coffee is pretty good too!

Continue onto the gate of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, and the end of the tarmac road. This is where you will feel as though your safari has begun and why you are in a 4 x 4, after a brief stop for permit checks (all handled by your guide), and yet another convenience stop if required. You will skirt the rim of the crater towards the descent road. Descend into the crater for ½ day crater tour to tick off any animals not yet seen and, hopefully, catch a glimpse of the elusive rhino. The crater is now the only place left in Tanzania where you will see this mighty beast and is a unique haven for mammals. Sightings of cheetah, lions and hyena are all possible, not to mention large bull elephants. Continue exploring the crater before climbing back up to the rim.

Check in at the superbly sited Ngorongoro Farm House in Karatu. The Farm House is exactly as the name suggests. Once a large coffee plantation, it has undergone major refurbishment and now offers superb accommodation in hand made red brick self contained private bungalows with huge high ceilings, which give the room a lovely spacious and airy feel. The recreational areas include a souvenir shop, lounge, dining room, small bar and stunning gardens with a swimming pool. Just the place to relax and enjoy the surroundings.

Water is scarce in this part of Tanzania; however, the camp has been well constructed and offers flushing toilets. The hot water for the shower is carried to each tent when required, by very discreet Masai.
