The crater is the most beautiful natural sight I have ever seen. Even if it had no animals it would be just incredible. I can't describe it with words. But besides, we saw lions, rhinos, cheetahs, elephants, buffallos, zebras, giraffes, etc. etc. etc. Amazing

Amazing place with so many animals to observe !

However too many jeeps, too many tourists. Some time you feel like you are in an amusement park queuing for a picture … sad impression !

A wonder of the World

The crater is one of the most incredible places I've seen in the world. A true wonder of the world. Except for the tourists, it looks like you have been teleported many million years in the past into the time of dinossaurs. Except instead of dinossaurs the place is the area on earth with the largest concentration of wildlife. Absolutely fantastic.

Unbelievable crater .... we saw a few different animals here. Again our lodge was " first class" overlooking the crater.

The large number of lions here saw here was second to none in East Africa. We also saw a few chowing down on a zebra!

It is hard to go to Tanzania, and not see the Ngorongoro Crater. Though it can sometimes be crowded during high season, it is such a famous destination, and is a must see at some point or another. It has breathtaking vistas, and the terrain is unmatched. It is also a treat to see the native Maasai in their element, going about their business as you traverse through the area. Wonderful place.

To see the lions that rule the crater is incredible. We love this area and hiking around the area to the elephant caves as well.
