Depart the hotel after an early breakfast to Lake Naivasha.

DAY 17  & 18 – NGORONGORO CRATER.

On this day after breakfast, we shall visit the ‘cradle of civilization’. A place where our ancestors walked over 3 million years ago.The Ngorongoro Conservation Area is a natural and ecological marvel. Surrounding an old volcano that collapsed to form a caldera, the conservation area is a natural enclosure providing stunning sights, and with a wide variety of flora and fauna that will definitely blow your mind away.This 19km wide crater is one of the largest calderas in the world. What’s unique about a Ngorongoro Crater tour is that the crater is not a lake- and that is extremely rare. The walls of the caldera rise up over 400-600m, providing a stunning and protected enclosure for nature drama to occur.

Here also,there are plenty of elephants, wildebeests, zebras, buffaloes and gazelles, and they are hunted by the hyenas, lions, jackals, and leopards. A visit to the crater will also bring you closer to the black rhino- a critically endangered animal.

We shall have our parked lunch somewhere in the park the later visit Empakaai crater.

The first time you see the Empakaai Crater, you might not believe your eyes. The alkaline lake in the middle of the crater is surrounded by the steep walls of the caldera, beyond which you can see stunning views of Ol Doniyo Lengai, Tanzania’s active volcano or even the snowy peak of the Kilimanjaro.This lake is surrounded by lush green forests with fig trees, blue monkeys, and colorful birds. You can also find buffalos, bush bucks and water bucks, and pink flamingos here. We shall later go back to our hotel for dinner and overnight stay as we prepare our next days’ activity which will be a visit to Olduvai Gorge.

Meal Plan {Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner}

OLDUVAI GORGE

We shall have breakfast and carry our lunch boxes as usual, then proceed to Olduvai Gorge.If the Ngorongoro region is known as the ‘cradle of civilization’, the Olduvai Gorge is probably why. Mary Leakey’s famous discovery of ancient human fossils and tools at the Gorge shed a lot of light on the dawn of human history.Marvel at the ancient elephant bones, fossils and tools that have been dug up here. The Gorge, and the museum, will enlighten you, and make you wonder about your place in history. We shall later haed to Laetoli. Laetoli is a remote location- but one you must definitely not miss. Laetoli is home to a 27m long trail of hominid (ancestors of humans) footprints that were left here over 3.7 million years ago. This is the best place for you to come close to our ancestors, and marvel at how far humans have come since our humble beginnings.Laetoli’s remote location makes it an incredibly adventurous place to visit as well- so even if you’re not a history buff, this is definitely a bucket list destination.

We can also visit The Gol Mountains after our lunch.The Gol Mountains are home to the Maasai, who still follow their traditional way of life in a cashless society, unaffected by modernity. The mountains are visited by a range of wildlife once the rains come in, so you can see a lot of wildlife here as well. Later head back to our hotel for dinner and overnight stay.
