You can't beat Ngorongoro for the sheer density of large mammals. That also includes humans. Tourist vehicles are everywhere. You just have to go in expecting to see a lot of people in addition to the wildlife.

If you're short on time and want to see big game, head straight to Ngorongoro. You'll see everything but giraffes here. There's so much wildlife it almost feels like a zoo.

Wonderful microcosm of wildlife, with so many types of animals within such a small space! Unfortunately there were lots of other vehicles there too, but with a little bit of work you can avoid most of them. We saw a pack of hyenas chasing a cheetah here -- priceless!

This is a busy busy Northern circuit favourite! You wont be alone unless you risk march to may when its raining and u may get stuck! Has become expensive for foreign tourist all of a sudden in park fees! Eden on earth a Must go to destination.
I stay at the Lutheran Hostel in Karatu not Arusha then its easier n cheaper! Even when you want to combine serengeti with Ngorongoro(same road) Try stayin at Lutheran Hostel it covers basics and good night sleep,unless you are highend ofcourse!

The safari drives were very good, with zebra, wildebeest, elephant, hippo, flamingo, topi, crowned crane, bateleur eagle, kori bustard, hyena, augur buzzard, water buffalo and a very fat lioness with her recent kill. We were also lucky enough to catch a rare glimpse of a black rhino.
