and hike the great rift valley wall. Our bikes are transported to the top and
we meet them for a great ride back mostly downhill to the main road (around
30km). Guests can opt to take the cars from here, or decent the rift wall on
the main road back to the lodge for an extra 30 km's riding.

NGORONGORO
Today
we depart for the fabled Ngorongoro Crater. A relatively early departure is
necessary to make the most of today and we descend into the crater for around
4 hours of great game viewing. The 'big 5' can often be spotted here in a day
and all the animals are remarkably tame - a great photography day!

morning we head off from the Ngorongoro Highlands and weave or way to the

otherwise known as the Cradle of Mankind. After a stop at the Olduvai Museum

is set up according to the best game.
