Day 5 – We start the day with an early morning game drive before heading to Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Ngorongoro is a special place in that it is a Conservation Area, not a National Park; this means that the whole area is managed for both the animals and the local Masai people who graze their cattle alongside the indigenous wildlife.

The only animal you won’t see in here is a giraffe, whose long legs are unable to cope with the steeps sides of the crater. Enjoy your picnic lunch by the hippo pool.
