Beautiful park and the chance to see rhinos. Amazing sunsets, and wonderful accommodations.

A relatively small area with quite concentrated wildlife populations. This is your only realistic chance of seeing a rhino! If you like your birds you will see a lot of kori and black kites. We also saw lots of lions and even a serval cat here!

Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most unique places I have ever seen. You literally are deep inside of an extinct volcano crater that is so massive you could fit three Washington, DC's inside of it. The best place in the world to see Black Rhinos in the wild. It was almost like being in a natural theme park. An incredible place that must be given two days minumum to enjoy. So much to see and the animals have little movement so they are easy to find. But the rhinos are scarce even in the crater. I could have spent a week here and still wanted more. An incredible experience.

One of the seven natural wonders of Africa. The crater is amazing and a must see when you are in Tanzania.

Ngorongoro Crater was one of my favorite places to be in Tanzania. We stayed on the rim in the Serena Lodge and the stars at night were brilliant and I was lucky enough to have a full moon night while there too. The amount of wildlife in the crater was almost mind boggling with scenes looking like the garden of eden with many species of animals all gathered together.

Long Views and Unique Landscape

far away, but so are the other trucks. rarely did it feel crowded (again, late May is very early in the season, and we were told that in high season it would be much, much worse). At that time of year, we saw only a few lions and at a great distance. Tarangire and the Serengeti had many more lions, often in the more abundant trees that are missing from Ngorongoro, so the caldera wasn't the place for big cats. Your best photo opportunities in the caldera will be for wide landscapes, or for very long animal shots, if you have the lens for it (600mm would've been nice). Zebras and wildebeests are often right alongside the road, but the few rhinos or lions you might find will often be a half mile away or more. All caldera roads were dirt, there were no private vehicles leaving the roads, and there is a very nice, albeit popular, scenic lunch spot by a hippo lake, with rest rooms. The caldera is probably a must-see place, but only in combination with another park that has denser trees and more big cats, like Tarangire.

A remarkable conservation area with numerous numbers of species from leopards and lions to herds of elephants.

Again, had to stay on the path and couldn't get close to the animals. Crowded with vehicles.
