evening at Greenside Hotel, preparing for your next day's safari.

magnificent Ngorongoro Crater, one of the most iconic and wildlife-rich destinations in Africa.
As you descend into this ancient volcanic caldera, be prepared to encounter a wide array of
animals including lions, elephants, buffalo, zebras, wildebeests, hippos, and, if lucky, the rare
