professional training beyond the learning of guiding
skills to fully understand the complexity and demands of
delivering quality service at the very highest level.

Day 11: Ngorongoro Crater |
0630hrs: Early morning, descend into the crater for a
full day game drive with picnic lunch.
-
The Ngorongoro Crater is the world's largest intact
caldera in an exceptional geographical position,
forming a spectacular bowl of about 265 sq km with
sides up to 600m deep. It is the stalking ground of
20 - 30,000 wild animals at any one time.
-
The crater floor consists of a number of ecological
environments that include grassland, swamps, forests
and Lake Magadi, a central soda lake filled by the
Munge River. All these various habitats attract
various wildlife to drink and graze.
-
Although animals are free to move in and out of this
contained environment, the rich volcanic soil, lush
forests and spring source lakes on the crater floor
tend to incline both grazers and predators to remain
throughout the year.
-
Ngorongoro Crater is also presently one of the most
likely areas in Tanzania to see the endangered Black
Rhino, as a small population is thriving in this
idyllic and protected environment one of the only
areas where they continue to breed in the wild.
-
The Crater rim, over 2,200 meters high, touches
swathes of clouds for most days of the year, with
cool high altitude vapors that seem to bring a clean
lightness to the air, and also a chill. These
highlands wake up to a misty fog in most months.
Later in the evening, ascend back to the crater rim for
dinner and overnight at Ngorongoro Serena Lodge.
