You drive to the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater and enjoy a late afternoon game drive on the crater floor. Overnight in Sanctuary Crater Camp.

Start your walk early in the morning from the Lemala gate on the eastern side of the crater. The track takes you through thick forests following the contours of the Ngorongoro Crater rim with stunning views of the crater floor below. You walk on an easy animal trail and may encounter local Masaai with cattle. Arrive in the Wayo Fly Camp late afternoon and enjoy time in this small remote camp.


Continue your walk in the early morning following more animal trails. Today you walk  more in the open, inside the crater rim, giving you the feeling of walking in the beautiful crater. The views are the best possible of the Ngorongoro Crater. The walk will end slightly after midday at the Leneto Crater decent road, from where you can continue to the Serengeti.
