its a relatively small area but in little time about 3 to 4 hours you can see all the animals and have a greatest game drive

Lots of wildlife here. Hyenas drinking at the lake, many hippos, zebras, elephants and lions with cubs. 10 miles wide, you can take in the whole view from side to side and marvel at the wildlife spending their lives inside the crater.
One day om Ngorongoro
I were in Tanzania in a month it each one fantastic travel and that crest thesis with a day in Ngorongor cratern. To may to go down at crater the edge felt as a dream, one has of course only seen on TV. it was one fantstisk day and we had the trip to may to see all the big 5 animals on one and same day it there extreme exceptional said the guide. Has you never been in a national park so will you actually go to Nogorongoro, it is fantastic to may to see them all fierce animals to rove freely in their correct elements .

Fantastic safari location and best place to see the Rhino...!
...although we didn't get to see the rhino ourselves, they were there. We heard that they were on the other side of the crater as the day was drawing to a close, but other people we knew saw them. We managed to see male lions, as well as all the more "common" animals such as wildebeest, giraffes, buffalo, hippos etc. There were lots of flamingos, which was something we hadn't seen elsewhere. I wish we had been able to spend another half day here, to get to see the rhinos, as we saw the other 4 of the "big 5"! Only 2 stars for "bush vibe" as there were a lot of other tourists there, but this didn't detract from the great experience we had.

Massive crater. Looks like a plain grassland from above. But once inside it, it has a variety of animals and birds. Must watch is the Rhino and the Flamingoes.

An amazing experience, one that I will never forget
We visited Ngorongoro Crater in early March with Ranger Safaris on a Safari in Tanzania.
Ngorongoro Crater is an amazing place with lots of animals and stunning views from the crater rim. We stayed at the Sopa Lodge for two nights. It is on the crater rim with amazing views from the rooms, pool and restaurant/bar. The staff were very friendly and the food ( both quality and quantity) and rooms ( large and spacious )were excellent. Free Wi-Fi was also available in the vicinity of reception.
Our guide took us on an all day safari into the crater. Lunch boxes were supplied by the Sopa Lodge and we had lunch at a designated picnic area near a small lake. There were other safari vehicles there plus children on an excursion from their school in Arusha,
We saw lots of animals - buffalo, lions, hyenas, hippopotami , zebras & wilderbeest. Their were lots of birds including ostriches and flamingos. On one occasion the safari vehicle ahead of us, could not move as lions were using it as shade and sitting beside the back wheel.
I would definatly recommend a visit to Ngorongoro Crater and staying at the Sopa Lodge.

You have to be in Ngorongoro on the right day to experience all the wildlife that prospers there. Sometimes you can be just unlucky. But the crater is an amazing sight - it is so vast that you cannot see it all properly in one go. It is worth going but be prepared to have an "off" day.
