Day Itinerary.
Upon arrival at the Kilimanjaro International Airport, you will be met and assisted to your safari Vehicle. Transfer to Arusha for lunch, thereafter drive through the Ngorongoro Highlands to your lodge situated on the rim of the crater. On this Ngorongoro Crater tour you will discover
that it covers over 300 square kilometres of land and is the home of the rare black rhino, prides of lion, elephant, cheetah and great herds of buffalo, antelope and wildebeest. After a day of exploration on Ngorongoro Crater Tour, comes dinner and overnight at Ngorongoro Serena Lodge.
Overnight: Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge or similar.
Perched on the jagged rim of the crater, wreathed in morning mist, camouflaged in river-stone and cloaked in indigenous creepers, the Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge is a triumph of ecological and architectural fusion. Sensitively constructed so as to take nothing from its environment whilst affording endless vistas over the heat-shimmering reaches of the crater below, the clustered boulder-built buildings of the Lodge hug the crater rim, linked by rope-lashed timber walkways that skirt the buttressed roots of ancient, liana-hung trees.
On the Ngorongoro Crater tour you will discover its interior, radiating out from the primeval log fire glowing at the heart of the Lodge, blends the concentrated hush of a game-viewing hide with the ochre, rust and charcoal images of a prehistoric cavern. Lit by flaming wall-lanterns, clad in gigantic volcanic boulders and decorated by the iron spears, bright-beaded robes and intricately carven artefacts of the Maasai, the Lodge is a unique blend of world-class luxury, timeless volcanic splendour and ethnic style. As for the views, from lilac-streaked sunrise, to indigo star-studded night, the immeasurably ancient Ngorongoro Crater delivers a theatre of vistas, most unchanged since the dawn of time.
