Ngorongoro Crater

Spectacular scenery

Its hit and miss - and the big five are no way guaranteed

Crowd: It's the year of Corona and the crater is not too crowded these days. At one picnic site, there were about 15 cars for lunch - throughout the park we never saw more than two other cars.
Wildlife: Obviously it was a quite unlucky day, because everyone else seems to have the best wildlife experiences here. We saw one pack of lion very very far away (barely detectable with good binoculars), no other cats, no rhino, one elephant hiding deep in the bush, a few smaller herds and ostriches.. so its no way guaranteed to see anything here. It was a normal day, not too windy, a bit cloudy, in the middle of dry season. There was no obvious reason why there was nothing around, but you have to accept it's just nature. But after a day like that I really don't get the hype.
Scenery: The scenery is very unique though and the views into the crater made the day.

This place is just to beautiful and amazing, our guide took us very early on the morning when it was dark and mist and cold, then things changed and suny animals every were around.

Wonderful Safari Ever in Tanzania

My friend and I recently finished Kwesa’s 7-day Machame Kilimanjaro climb, and we would recommend Kwesa Tours to anyone.Edward our contacts at Kwesa Tours, were very responsive and helpful. We found the booking process straightforward and once in Tanzania everything was very well organised and slick. All members of staff that we met were friendly and very professional, and we always felt well taken care of. We had a great experience climbing Kilimanjaro with kwesa tours. In particular our guides Joseph, willium, Eli and Makeke (and the rest of their team of chefs and porters) were totally reliable and professional, and made our climb both safe and enjoyable. When my climbing partner was taken ill, the guides went above and beyond to help him and to make sure he recovered and went on to reach the summit. Lots of good food was provided, and the guides carried out two medical checks per day to make sure everyone was feeling okay. We would highly recommend climbing with Kwesa Tours, and Joseph’s team of guides.

The perfect experience with a perfect team!!

It was my first time doing the safari but for sure not the last! With no expectation of what is coming I was overwhelmed with the wildlife and beautiful nature . Each place has something different to offer - animals , views and nature . Beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Hard to explain how empowering the connection with nature is .
I have to mention that the team was exeptualy professional, Magic Mike was the driver and the knowledge he has and attention to the guest made the whole thing very amazing.he made sure every need is taken care of , made his best to showcase every beauty and animal there is to see and overall made my 4 days an amazing and unforgettable journey.
Richard was the cook and I have to say that the food was excellent! Hot meals for every taste , fresh fruits ,deserts, and what not ! Very talented cook and very humble and kind person .
Overall cannot recommend more for that team in particular, both of them made my trip better in every way !!

One of my favorite places on the trip

Incredible the amount of animals we can find in this place, the numbers of zebras and wildebeest are incredible.
Additionally, we saw lions, rhino, hyenas, baboons, caracal, wart hogs, hippos, etc.
The only downside the number of tourists, much more than what we were expecting.

Astonishing. It is incredible the different environments the Crater has within it. We move from sabana, to bushes, to lakes.. We saw plenty of wild animals including all the expected ones such as elephants, lions, zebras, wildebeests, rhino, eagles, giraffes, hippos and a variety of birds.

Godson and Charles, our guides, were very friendly and professionals. Always attentive to look for and show us animals. They also took good care of us. Always willing to stop and give us time to see the animals and take as many photos as we wanted to.

The picnic areas and restrooms are clean and well maintained.

Ngorongoro is a wonderful place with breathtaking landscape and huge amount of species and animals

Was hoping to see Rhinos. Everything thing else was fine
