After breakfast, pack your lunch and go out for a full-day game drive in the crater. You will drop 600 meters into the crater, which is home to a variety of animal species, including the big five (lions, leopards, buffalos, rhinos, and elephants). Other animal species found in Ngorongoro include hyenas, wildebeests, antelopes, cheetahs, zebras, hippos, waterbucks, and warthogs, among others.
There are also many bird species that may be seen around Ngorongoro Crater, such as ostriches and flamingos that live along the shores of Lake Magadi. After your game drive around the Ngorongoro Crater, you will visit a Maasai Bomas to mingle with the people before returning to your lodge for supper and stay as described above.
