Its hit and miss - and the big five are no way guaranteed
Crowd: It's the year of Corona and the crater is not too crowded these days. At one picnic site, there were about 15 cars for lunch - throughout the park we never saw more than two other cars.
Wildlife: Obviously it was a quite unlucky day, because everyone else seems to have the best wildlife experiences here. We saw one pack of lion very very far away (barely detectable with good binoculars), no other cats, no rhino, one elephant hiding deep in the bush, a few smaller herds and ostriches.. so its no way guaranteed to see anything here. It was a normal day, not too windy, a bit cloudy, in the middle of dry season. There was no obvious reason why there was nothing around, but you have to accept it's just nature. But after a day like that I really don't get the hype.
Scenery: The scenery is very unique though and the views into the crater made the day.

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

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.

Better roads, more touristy - little to see.

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

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.
