The crater is well known for it's natural beauty and high concentration of animals available. As a result, it is the site of lots of day trippers. We got there early, but after 10am the roads were crowded with vehicles. When a lion was spotted, the drivers communicated with each other and everyone converged on the spot. We had dozens of vehicles parked in both directions trying to see the lions. It took forever before the vehicles sorted themselves out and moved on. The park really needs to limit the number of vehicles in the park or establish firm rules about how long a vehicle can remain in any one spot. This was the only park where we saw a rhino - from a distance.

Really cool to be in the crater and explore the entire area. Seems like a wildlife utopia. Only downside is not much vegetation.

Stunning but not the amount of wildlife we expected.

We saw lots of wildlife there, but nothing more than we saw in Tarangire and Serengeti. And the drive up to the rim of the crater we through thick fog and pretty scary. Once we got down into the crater the viewing was good.

The park is so big that it is hard to see a fraction of it in 1 day. The animals are scattered around in the wild and their is not enough dirt roads to see them all.

The crater is marvellous. Roads were difficult this time, not access to all parts of Ngorongoro

What makes Ngorongoro Crater a must see is the scenic beauty of its surroundings. We had already seen many of the animals in the Serengeti, but to see them in these colours and contexts was breathtaking at times.
