Just too many jeeps making animal "finds" unrealistic. Also, very polluting drives, breathing in massive amounts of dust and carbon black exhaust particles from the many jeeps in front or going the other way.

Be careful because it's cold in there! Origin of mankind, essential to visit it, despite the fact you won't see so many species as in The Serengeti...

Ngorongoro is fantastically concentrated, but doesn't have the vast space of the Serengeti

A bit too commercial with too many safari tour vehicles.

Ngorogoro crater is a gorgeous park with a unique feel all of its own due to its higher altitude and location at the bottom of a crater (technically a caldera - collapsed volcano). There were lots of wildlife everywhere in a relatively concentrated area. We saw a few lions, lots of buffalo, hippos, wildebeasts, zebras and birds. The downside is the park was much more crowded with safari vehicles than any other park we visited. There were at least 30 jeeps watching the lions we saw with us which is nothing like the relative privacy we experienced in the Serengheti or Tarangire where there were rarely more than 3 or 4 jeeps around at any time and often we were the only jeep viewing animals we came across.

A very interesting park with a fair amount of wildlife but a little disappointing after the Serengeti.
