Day 4: Laikipia Plateau/Nairobi/Arusha, Tanzania/ Ngorongoro Crater

Fly to the Lake Manyara airstrip and continue overland to the Ngorongoro Crater and your next private safari camp.

Later, learn about the Maasai people, their culture and traditions while visiting a local village, followed by a private Maasai dance performance back at your camp.
