In fact, the crater has the greatest concentration of wild life in the planet. It contains a river, several swamps, a soda lake that, from the top, looks like steam, full of flamingoes, a forest and open plains.

  The large bull elephants that reside here have extremely large tusk, due to the rich mineral content of the volcanic soil and its grasses.

During the tour, you will be guided by a Masai Chief, who will show you the village, how the Masai live, their habits, how they cook, how they take care of livestock, what and how they study, dance, etc. Then transfer back to Arusha and end of a memorable safari.
