A million wildebeest\u2026 each one driven by the same ancient rhythm, fulfilling its instinctive role in the inescapable cycle of life: a frenzied three-week bout of territorial conquests and mating; survival of the fittest as 40km (25 mile) long columns plunge through crocodile-infested waters on the annual exodus north; replenishing the species in a brief population explosion that produces more than 8,000 calves daily before the 1,000 km (600 miles) pilgrimage begins again.<\/p>

Ngorongoro Rim Walk \u2013 Departure<\/p>
\u00a0Have breakfast at the lodge\/camp in the morning then go to a crater rim walk. In the afternoon, drive to Manyara airstrip for a flight either back to Arusha\/Kilimanjaro International Airport or fly to Zanzibar.<\/div>
Ngorongoro Crater Rim walk is a very good way to get out of the car without committing to a serious walking or trekking after several days of wildlife viewing. It allows you to see tracks and signs and have the feeling of isolation that comes from trekking in the African Bush. An expert guide and armed ranger will accompany you during the walk to protect you from dangerous wildlife. To start your Ngorongoro Crater Rim hike you will drive to the starting point. The walk follows the Western rim of the Crater past the spectacular Oloirobi viewpoint. There are patches of forest, to begin with, and later it opens up into grassland. There are spectacular views down into the Crater on your right as you walk and then some more great views emerge to your left towards Olduvai Gorge, the Serengeti, and the Gol mountains. This is an easy walk with no steep climbs, just a few gentle slopes. It lasts about 1 \u2013 2.5 hours and can be enjoyed at any time of day though we suggest you avoid the midday heat. A good time would be either early morning or in the evening after game viewing.<\/p>
