Rhotia Village Safari Package
The Rhotia Village Safari Package combines a guided cultural experience around Rhotia near Karatu with a 4×4 wildlife safari inside Ngorongoro Crater.
The first part of the package focuses on village life, farming, household gardens, livestock, local food and cultural stories.
Selected programs can also include interpretation connected with Iraqw cultural heritage in the wider Karatu area.
The second part of the journey continues into the Ngorongoro Conservation Area for a crater descent and wildlife game drive.
Travellers may see wildebeest, zebras, African buffalo, lions, spotted hyenas, hippos, elephants, gazelles, warthogs and many bird species.
