You’ll pass hippo-filled pools and spot everything from secretary birds to ostriches and crowned cranes. Predators like hyenas, jackals, and cheetahs also roam the crater, creating thrilling wildlife encounters.
Midday, enjoy a delicious picnic lunch surrounded by the crater’s stunning scenery. As the sun begins to dip, you’ll journey back to Arusha—tired but filled with unforgettable memories of a day in one of Africa’s most magical landscapes.
