Beautiful! Very cool to be in a crater and so many different animals. It was so open that pictures were easier to take.

Expansive views and stunning diversity, including black rhino!

Ngorongoro Crater offered the most incredible & expansive views I've ever experienced. I had the privilege of staying in the Serena Safari Lodge with a floor to ceiling view of the crater from the dining area, and a deck view from the room that is not to be missed. While I personally prefer bush camps, I will definitely return to the crater and this specific view in years to come. It was the nicest accommodation that I've ever stayed in.

At the lodge there was a chance to mingle with the Maasai, who sell many of their arts and crafts.

Wildlife viewing in the crater brought me close to the magnificent dark-maned lions, many cape buffalo, tons of flamingo, and a black rhino with calf! While most animals were represented in the crater, these were the ones that stood out as differing slightly in number (more) from what I saw while in the Serengeti.

Ngorongoro Conservation Area is a place that I hope to revisit many, many times.

We wasn't lucky to see rhinos close! And famous enormous herds of zebra and wildebeests migrated to Kenya. But we still have seen lions cubs!

Lots happening on the floor of the crater. Neat to see the animals in different scenery other than the bush.

Animals are just right there, are very easy to see. Also the landscape is amazing. The camp site is very good and the bathrooms were very clean.

Ngorongoro crater is a very interesting place. it is deceptively large! We saw wildabeest and zebra too many to count. We saw rhino, lion, elephant, water buffalo and hippo, in addition to the gazelle and flamingo and baboon. So many animals. Such a beautiful place! Weather was amazing. Cool, breezy and sunny. Perfect!

A little more lush that Serengeti with differing environments. I saw every type of animal here and they were everywhere, my favorite of the three locations I visited.
