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.

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

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!

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.

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

We visited Ngorongoro Crater during a wonderful 3-day safari with Soul of Tanzania, stayed in a Sanctuary crater camp at the rim, which was a great experience. The game drive in the crater was awesome, including scenery, and by far not as crowded as we expected. We were lucky to spot almost all kinds of wildlife. Had a great time there!

Good place to see a high density of animals all living close to each other, with a great vista at the top. Best place to catch the infamous rhino. Definitely one of the busier parks, so feels a little bit less like a national park and more like a tourist attraction. Harder to get photos, unless game drive goes further away from the heavy traveled areas.

This is one of the most beautiful places I have ever visited in the world. It has so much biodiversity. The animals are everywhere and so near to the road. We were also lucky to see the black rhino while we were here.
