Amazing wildlife experience!

We spent 1 day in Ngorongoro crater. The park is an amazing place with pretty dense wildlife. The scenery is flat but beautiful! We were traveling with a guide who helped us see the rarest animals including Rhinos! I am not a big fan of tent-based accommodation but my wife enjoyed it. Bring some warm clothes because the nights can be really cold there!

Ngorongoro Crater was jaw-dropping.

Seeing the view from the top of the crater was amazing, and driving down into it did not disappoint. LOTS of wildlife with a huge variety of species, weather was perfect (windy at high elevations so take a sweater!). The panoramas were just awesome, I was sorely wishing for a wide angle lens. We stayed at the Serena Safari Lodge, right on the rim of the crater, and it was wonderful. Our Sense of Africa tours were fabulous in both Kenya and Tanzania. Can't wait to go back!!

Just amazing - we saw so many animals, and it was a beautiful place overall. Wish we had had better weather when we were there - it was raining and cold but it didn't take away from the amazing wildlife that lives there.

Ngorongoro Crater has more advertising. In the crater there are not so many animals as the guidebooks write.

Lots of wildlife - but passive experience

We did the Northern Circuit, including Ngorongoro in December of 2017. The amount of wildlife seen was mind boggling. However, sitting in the car for 12+ hours per day started to get boring and the experience felt passive. Next time I would like to mix up the experience with fewer days of driving and include more culture or walking activities.

Driving through the Ngorongoro Reservation Area and the Crater was unique. So many different impressions and so many animals. Particularly loved the Hippo Pool.
