Oooooh,Ngorongoro we saw more than we expect.The place is very beauty especial around the crater it has the good view. We also saw a lion hunt a wildebeest live with our eyes.Ngorongoro has the best place for camping we do camp at Ngorongoro with our tents we have never experience that on my entire life. We also ranked that because we saw a massai with their cows within Ngorongoro area and they were not afraid of any dangerous animals. I have real enjoy camping within the park and some monkeys came at our tents.

So beautiful! And (though only through binoculars) the only park we saw rhinos in. Just a magical place.

Great time with the highlight of a confrontation between buffaloes and lions. Spotting rhinos, and a caracal too, apart from the big animals.
Though the big amount of wildebeests, gazelles and zebras was not there as the rains had not reached the crater... just beginning. Though lots of predators...

By the time we went to Ngorongoro we had seen all of the animals. This was seeing them in a different habitat, yet similar. I loved the hippo pond & seeing the lush green grasses & water where the Zebra & wilder-beast congregated.

The safari company was very accommodating! We were pleased with the overnight accommodations as the meals. We saw many, many animals.

The scenery in the Ngongoro Crater is like no other I've ever seen. There's something surreal about being in the crater. Everything is coexisting with one another. One of my personal favorites places on the planet is the Ngoitokitok Picnic area. Enjoying lunch and a coffee there; it's like something out of a dream. I highly recommend going on a hike on the crater rim, guided by the local rangers. We took a 2 hour hike with our guides and enjoyed talking with them as well as the sceneries. Inside the crate, we saw most of the animals except for the rhino and the giraffe (although we did see some giraffes just outside the crater). Our safari guide was from Gosheni Safaris, great guide and company. We stayed just outside the crater at the Ngongoro Farm House, a very high end lodge.

The wildlife in Ngorongoro is amazing. You'll have no trouble finding zebras, wildebeest, hyenas, lions, hippos, elephants and many others. I wasn't lucky enough to see a rhino in the crater but we did see a cheetah which apparently are fairly rare inside. The weather was beautiful. It was somewhat windy and around 25 degrees Celsius. We stayed in the Serena hotel at the top of the crater which had great views into the crater. It had especially lovely sunrises. Meals were typically a buffet salad and dessert bar with a small selection of main dishes to choose from. They were quite good. Breakfast was also a buffet. We traveled with Rashidi from Leopard Tours who was an excellent guide. He was well versed in all the various animals and birds that we saw on our tour and he searched very diligently to find all the animals we wanted to see.
