Amazing diversity of wildlife; more lions than I've seen at any other park in Africa.
We spent one day in Ngorongoro Crater. The drive up to the top of the Crater alone was amazing. We were traveling with Ranger Safaris, and we were very confident in our guide's ability and knowledge. We stayed at the Sopa lodge, apparently one of only three on the Crater's rim. Service and food were fantastic,and wildlife wandered right up to the sun porch on the back of our room. Weather changed throughout the day, which made for a great experience. I've been on over a dozen game drives, and would say the standouts at the Crater were seeing a pride of 12 or more lions, a pond full of hippos who were rolling over in the water, and hundreds of zebras. What a day! Highly recommended part of any trip to Tanzania.

A trip of a lifetime. More to see than one could possible image
We recently had the unique opportunity to visit the Ngorongoro Crater during a Safari arranged by Road Scholar. It is a phenomenal destination and must see to anyone visiting East Africa. During our trip we toured Amboseli National Park, Lake Manyara National Park, Ngorongoro Carter, Serengti and Masai Mara. The highlight was the base of Ngorongoro Crater with its large variety of animals and birds that inhabit the Conservation area around Lake Magadi. We were able to easily view and photograph from close range elephant, cape buffalo, rhino, wildebeast, ostrich, zebra, topi, eland, warthog, gazelle, waterbuck, jackal, grey crowned stork, tawny eagle, black-sholdered kite, sacred ibis, weaver bird, kori and Hartlaub's Bustard, and many other birds. In the evening we enjoyed excellent entertainment and dinner at the Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge on the Crater rim. We highly recommend this facility for its rooms, views and superb food. Our guide was Edwin Nyabuto. He was the best possible guide in every aspect (knowledgeable, articulate, patient, helpful, caring of all participants)

Fantastic animal diversity is such a relatively short space, it offers a wide range (zebras, buffalo, lions, hipos, rhino (we were lucky to see one!),…
The crater is a magical place with beautiful landscape in what appears to be a travel through time, unforgettable.

Ngorongoro Crater was very beautiful. It is the best place to see Rhinos and we saw one up close. Also saw 2 lions stalk and kill a zebra. Great place to see lots of wildlife in a concentrated area.
It is needed and worthy to enjoy and experience the nature beauty in these safari in your life.
Africa is a new world to us (We are from Taiwan.). The National Parks we have visited, the view along the way, the people around us. our guides in the park, everything is splendid. What I enjoy the most is when we are traveling in the national parks, our guide would introduce the animals' habits and the environment and so on. It really amazes me. The weather in June and July in Tanzania is suitable for visitors to have fun. The accommodation arranged by Feliz Company is wonderful and reliable. Visit the national parks in Africa is something must done in your life.
