After experiencing Tarangire and Serengeti, you get less exposure to animals. The stand outs were the Rhino and the flamingos

crowdy, feels more like in bigger zoo than an adventurous safari

The landscapes are wonderful. The drive down and drive up were fun to experience with the top open.

Yet, it feels like a zoo. If you have been on other safaris, I would recommend skipping it and just do the lookout at the rim.

I don't know why but we expected more wildlife given they are constrained by the crater.

Not my favorite place, reeeeeally cold, but there we saw hundred of animals all together reaching a small lake to drink and it was again a spiritual experience, seeing life itself all coming together to sustain itself.

Ngorongoro Crater was a bit dreary because of the overcast. Even the animals, which were not many, seemed uninspired.
