The Ngorongoro crater was the biggest disappointment for me. I imagined a crater full of wildlife but it was mainly a crater full of tourists. To see lions it is a good place but again, like the other popular parks in Tanzania, you will always have to share it with 70 other cars. In addition, I found the practical aspect of the crater a real obstacle. If you are not staying on the edge of the crater, but like most people in Karatu, it will easily take you 2.5 hours one way to get to the crater from your lodge. The crater is very small, so you can explore the vast majority of it in 2 hours. If there is something to see somewhere, you can recognize it by the dust cloud moving in the direction of the sighting...
I would strongly advise skipping this destination. It's better to stay an extra day in the Serengeti...(which I didn't like that much as well)

we drove by before we went to Serengeti, so we already experienced the few.
The day we drove in the crater we saw a rhino! the landscape in de the crater is already so diffrent from what we saw the days before. it was really surprising. It felt so cool to drive in the biggest crater in de world!

Amazing place to spot animals and beautifull surroundings, also during rainy season. However, I can imagine that during high season it is very busy with cars since it is a small area.

Price-performance was great!
Everything was very well organized. In two days in Tarangire National Park and Ngorongoro Crater I was able to see the Big Five and more. The leopard first thing in the morning and the large herds of elephants fascinated me the most. The Ngorongoro Crater was gorgeous! The accommodation was also great, the food was delicious and everyone was very friendly.

Omg, Ngorongoro was amazing, there were animals everywhere. After being in the natural habitat of the wild life, I will never visit another zoo. I recommend for everyone to go to a safari once in their life and do it with Vision Safaris
