The Ngorongoro Crater felt like stepping into another world. The stunning scenery, combined with the high density of wildlife within the crater, made this stop truly special. We loved spotting rhinos, a rare sight on safari, as well as large herds of zebras and wildebeests. The crater's unique ecosystem was fascinating, and Simon’s knowledge added so much depth to our visit.

Its an amazing place. 600m down on the crater floor it is so rich with animals its unbelievable. On 17 x 19km all animals live together and have there own system. Its magical seeing it. But because it is small that means also its easier to spot which is nice if you dont have that much time. But you cant spent days here as you would go over and over on the same roads. You have to watch more at one place which would be cool too.
Campsite Simba has a beautiful view of the crater and in 30 min your on the craterfloor.

Probably the most unique, natural beauty, compact size and high density of animals. Feels a bit crowded due to its relatively smaller size and popularity. Lots of animals, hyenas, lions, buffalos, hypos, zebras, wildebeests, antelopes, flamingos and other birds.

From the rim of the crater it is hard to understand just how vast this are is. One may spot a few dots that may be animals but it can look pretty empty. Then, once down into the crater one sees that it is teeming with life. Wildebeest and Zebras roaming everywhere, hyenas, warthogs, hippos and dozens of species of birds. A fabulous environment.

Descending into the crater is just breathtaking. The fact that this crater was once a Massive volcano that collapsed in on itself and then created this habitable land for hundreds of thousands of animals is unreal. The weather was also cooler the day we went to the crater which was a nice change from the Serengeti. Because the park was a tad smaller compared to the others, I felt animals were easier to spot and we spotted them more often. Lots of Zebra and Wildebeest. A few lions, and elephants. Smaller animals too of course. No Giraffes in the crater, just an FYI!
