Perjalanan berpatah balik daripada Serengeti National Park ke Ngorongoro Crater mengambil masa kurang lebih 3J. Ketika kami sampai hujan renyai-rengai dan suhu sekitar 15C. Sementara menunggu khemah siapa dipasang kami melayani internet, mandi dan berehat sementara menunggu makan malam.
Ngorongoro Crater.
This Crater covers a total land area of approximately 8,288 sq km, and was initially set up as a National Park in 1959. During that year, this park received the honor of a World Heritage Site, to make sure that the uniqueness and exceponality of the Ngorongoro remained well safe guarded.
The Ngorongoro Crater is actually a very spectacular destination worth visiting so as to personally witness its large terrain from its heights that extend as far as the horizon. The floor of the crater, also referred to as the bottom of the crater is a volcanic caldera that collapsed about 2 to 3 million years back. The walls that surround the floor of the crater are about 2,000 ft high, and these serve as the great way to safe guard the various wild animals that stay inside the crater.
Among the various wild animals you should look forward to seeing in the park are the Big Five among which are rhinos, leopards, elephants, lions plus buffaloes. It is as well a wonderful a destination to have an opportunity to see animals hunting as well as spot hyenas near the big watering hole, as they prepare to attack the large flocks of flamingoes. This crater in addition is an exceptional destination for birds with several species of birds residing there among are kori bustard plus the black kite that live here in larger numbers compared to other game parks cross the country.
The wildlife together with the breathtaking scenery attract a large number of tourists every year. Also several tourists visit that area to visit the Olduvai Gorge an archaeological site where the initial fossils were discovered that remains the most significant prehistoric landmarks on the entire planet today. According to the archaeologists, they estimate that some of the hominid species remains date up to more than 3 million years back.
Standing on the edge of the crater wall you will be able to look down into the crater whose 600 meters high walls are dense highland forest that slowly fades into an open grassy terrain up to the crater floor. Surrounding you is a dense verdant forest with sounds of waving tree branches being blown by the gentle wind. The weather generally cool although as seen from the crater ridge the inside of the crater appears hot and very sunny. You will be able to notice several safari vehicles crisscrossing the different trucks while on game drives.

Norongoro Crater ibarat sebuah kawah besar yang terbentang luas saujana mata memandang. Didalamnya mengalir sungai-sungai kecil dan tasik-tasik dengan kejernihan airnya untuk jutaan hidupan liar yang menghuni didalamnya. Dimusim lembab rumput menghijau keparas pinggang sebagai padang ragut yang amat subur. Jarang kelihatan pokok kayu walaupun untuk tujuan berteduh kecuali dikeliling banjaran tinggi yang mengelilingi NC. Terdapat beberapa pintu masuk dan keluar sahaja dan ini seolah-olah semua ratusan ribu binatang daripada perbagai spesis terpisah daripada dunia luar NC.
