In the morning you will drive to Ngorongoro and get a chance to visit one of the Maasai villages. On arrival at the village, expect to be greeted in the traditional manner: plenty of singing and dancing, with participation very much encouraged! There is a great opportunity to learn about some of the traditional practices such as fire-making and beadwork. You may also get the chance to meet and speak to villagers in their homes – questions are very welcome and your guide will happily interpret if needed. It is worth noting that it can be quite smoky in the houses if the fires are lit inside.
During your visit, there is also the opportunity to purchase handmade leather and beadwork from the villagers, although these are also available in the camp shop.
At the end of the activities you will continue onwards with your game drive inside the crater floor and afterwards depart to your onwards journey.
