Not all the area is accessible for visitors, so some animals you only see from far...but amazing scenic beauty! And can be lucky and see rhinos, lions etc up close
Can be crowded in high season

This was a unique environment, and also where we encountered the rhinoceros.

There's lots of wildlife in the crater and lots of it remains there, thanks to difficulties escaping the crater. This leads to lots of in-breeding, particularly among the lions. Lots of tourists so its difficult to imagine it's just you and nature.

It was a beautiful place but when we went it was really cold and couldn’t see a looot of animals, but at least we saw the rhino but too far away

The massive congregation of Flamingos, seen up close was stunning !
Some sectors of forest vegetation, were almost prehistoric in appearance. A close encounter with a teen mother elephant, with the tiniest baby, was surprising. A wide variety of large and small bird life, was impressive.

Impressive suede and beautiful Landscape. Many tourists and the visit was rather short.

After Serengeti our hopes were up this would be even more impressive. It wasn’t. Beautiful and special but not amazing

Gave it 5* only because we were lucky to see a family of 3 Rhinos plus three separate Rhinos. Not many other wildlife spotted. But hard to compete with the experiences we had over 4 days in Serengeti

I didn't like it that much. Maybe because i fell in love with the Serengeti and we have visited Ngorongoro after the Serengeti

It was our last park. The scenery was exceptional, but it was very cold, so it was probably the one we enjoyed the least.
