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.

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!

We saw plenty of wildlife but preferred the openness of the Serengeti

See most all the animals in one place - although kind of feels like cheating after Serengeti.

Ngorongoro crater is very scenic but our wildlife sighting was much better in Tarangire as well as Serengeti. We saw rhinos from very far since there appears to be some research going with the rhinos or perhaps there has been poaching.

Ngorongoro conservation area is worth a visit as rhinos can be found here while Serengeti might be too big and too hard to find such an endangered kind of animal. In the crater, there were big herds of zebras, buffalos, wildebeests, elephants and hippos while several prides of lions could be seen as well. The lanscape itself is unique being surrounded by the rain forest in the highland with a great plain at the bottom of the crater. Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge is the best choice to enjoy the magnificent view of the crater.

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.

As a photographer, this is a good destination if you are interested in "Wildscape".
For the first timers it is a must go destination.
Rhino sighting is the attraction but you can photograph it nicely only if they come roadside.
Second time you may skip it.
