Optional visit to Masai Village. There are several Maasai Bomas that our driver guides have relationships with. These are located a short distance from the main road, not far after the Olduvai Gorge. These locations allow convenient access but are still far enough off the beaten path to avoid the main tourist circuit.

At Ngorongoro, we’ll be spending one night at the selected Ngorongoro Lodge on the Crater Rim overlooking the Crater Floor before returning to Arusha on day 5 - end of the safari.
