It's about 20 kilometers across, 600 meters deep, and covers 300 square kilometers—an awe-inspiring natural wonder. We'll explore Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner, famous for its black rhinos, flamingos, hippos, and other water birds. You will enjoy a full-day game drive inside the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, one of Africa’s most remarkable wildlife destinations.
