LOTS of lions and hyenas. We did not get to see the Rhinos

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.

Superb wildlife. Lots of lions. Birds. Elephants. Stunning scenery. The crater itself pays the visit. Lots of cars tough and not much of a bush vibe.

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.

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.

Ngorongoro Crater has more advertising. In the crater there are not so many animals as the guidebooks write.

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.
