overview

The Ngorongoro Conservation Area is without a doubt among the most beautiful and fascinating places in Tanzania. The vast Ngorongoro Crater is the area’s centerpiece and one of the world’s greatest natural spectacles. Its magical scenery and abundant wildlife never fail to enthrall visitors.

Nestled in a range of extinct volcanoes that rise to heights of more than 3,500 meters (11,483 feet) is the Ngorongoro Crater, a World Heritage Site. It is the largest unflooded and unbroken caldera in the world, measuring 19.2 km (12 miles) in diameter, 610 m (2,000 feet) deep, and 304 square kilometers (117 square miles) in area. The Ngorongoro Crater’s first view is breathtaking. The crater alone has over 20,000 large animals, including some of Tanzania’s last remaining black rhinos. Animals are free to enter or leave the crater, but many of them stay because of the plentiful water and grazing available on the floor throughout the year.

You can combine this tour with experiences in Zanzibar and other parks. Reach out to us for a tailor-made experience.

itinerary

Early in the morning, around 7:00 or 8:00 AM, the Ngorongoro safari departs Arusha. We will traverse the breathtaking Maasai Steppe, the Rift Valley’s Lake Manyara, the Karatu escarpment, and the Loduare Gate of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Visit the lookout to photograph the crater bottom after checking in at the gate. To discover more about the Maasai people’s culture and way of life, you will visit their hamlet. Spend the night in Ngorongoro at either the Farm House, Acacia Farm Lodge, or comparable lodgings in Karatu.

Following breakfast, you will descend into the Ngorongoro Crater, which is also known as the “Eden of Africa.” The Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s largest unbroken caldera and is unparalleled in its concentration of fauna. With a bit of luck, you may be able to observe the big five within the caldera, as your vehicle will be in constant communication with other drivers to identify the most promising animal sightings. We will serve lunch at the picnic site and return to the crater rim in the late afternoon to relish the crater’s views and relax.

This morning, following a leisurely breakfast at the lodge, you will embark on a nature trek along forest trails with an armed ranger. Your luck may bring you buffalo, elephants, duikers, lions, and leopards. Upon completion of the walking excursion, you will drive back to Arusha town, with a brief stop at the Karatu and Mto wa Mbu market towns.

WHAT OUR CLINTS SAY

I am not even sure where to start because everything was beyond perfect. Customer service was the best. The entire team took extremely good care of us. We hiked and in one day we saw a lot of chimpanzees in the park. Juma organized it on very short notice and Abbas is very knowledgeable about the park and took us to the best routes. Thanks a lot, guys!

I did a 3-days-2-nights trekking with We Cab Tours in Gombe National park. What can I say? Asante sana! The trip was just super perfect! I saw many chimpanzees (it's not guaranteed for sure because as you know how wildlife is sometimes). BUT I did it in the end of March when officially is off-season and I still saw them. The weather was really good too. Juma, the owner and his employees are super nice people. I always felt safe and understood. Moreover everything was on time what is really rare to get - believe me. I would do it with this organization again for sure! And I will do some other trips when I am again in Tanzania

Juma, thank you for your hospitality and flexibility during our travel to Zanzibar. I had an amazing and beautiful experience because of your team. Your team arrived early at the RUI to pack our luggage in the van and patiently waited until we were ready to leave the hotel as were saying goodbye to our friends we met on the trip. I appreciate the time you took on our last day of the visit in Stone town prior to leaving for the airport. You helped us negotiate our fabrics and clothing so that we received the best price

Juma, Makame, Brendah and the We Cab family were the absolute best! They treated us like family, they were on time for every day we booked. They want out of their way to provide the best experience. When we booked the "scary ferry" ride to Dar es Salem, we were treated to a complimentary upgrade. We missed the stop in Nairobi where we were supposed to give donations to an orphanage and they made sure to find a reputable one in Zanzibar, and had one of their guides Brendah, translate on our behalf. I truly felt more like family than a client. I will definitely return to Zanzibar and use We Cab for all my transportation and tour needs.
