While we didn't get very close to the animals at the crater, the scenery alone was worth the trip. It was magnificent!

Wonderful experience. You see many other vehicles and people. This was much different than our Serengeti experience.

excellent natural wonder but very crowded; you're never alone standing by the animals

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

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 !
