As you cross the Great Rift Valley, stop for a market visit in Mto wa Mbu, where stalls brim with vibrant local produce. Then, see the village from a different perspective as you Ride Like a Local on a tuk-tuk, viewing the local community and rice fields as you go. Later, arrive at the natural amphitheater of Ngorongoro Crater, a 2,000-foot-deep caldera. 

A fascinating microcosm of East African wildlife — including buffalo, flamingos, lions and leopards — resides inside. Climb the outer wall, passing through dense vegetation until a breathtaking view across the crater floor appears. Arrive at your tented lodge, nestled on the crater rim with easy access to the crater floor. This afternoon relax on your veranda to view the panoramic natural wonderland.
