Interesting geology, great drive into the crater and wonderful views from the top. We didn't see as many animals as the Serengeti (it was July) but we did see many varieties (missed the Rhino) including a kill.

Ngorongoro was absolutely beautiful. There is a great mix of animals here and you have the chance to see every one of the big five. Because it is a smaller space there are a lot of other trucks around though so it can feel a bit cramped.

Ngorongoro is speactacular as a formation, but the wildlife we encountered was not that great. But the poverall impression, coming down into the caldera, was magnificent!

Our tour group did not get to really experience Ngorongoro because on the 1st day we went down into the crater, it was REALLY raining, and none of the animals were visible. When we were coming back from the Serengeti on our way back to Tarangire, we stopped there for a short period of time, but because of time constraints, we weren't able to devote an entire day there.

The most fascinating part of Ngorongoro is the first look you get upon cresting the rim of the crater. You can see miles in each direction, and down 600 metres to the floor.
Most of the Big-5 is on display – we did not see a leopard, but experienced our only rhinoceros sighting here. But for whatever reason, the feel is more like an extremely large zoo. The animals seem to keep to themselves and not interact with each other significantly.
Also within the Ngorongoro conservation area is a scattering of Masai villages, and it is fascinating to see how the villagers live. Finally, Ngorongoro is the location of Olduvai Gorge, which is an incredible archaeological site for human evolution.
