A wonder of the World
Overall rating
5/5

The crater is one of the most incredible places I've seen in the world. A true wonder of the world. Except for the tourists, it looks like you have been teleported many million years in the past into the time of dinossaurs. Except instead of dinossaurs the place is the area on earth with the largest concentration of wildlife. Absolutely fantastic.

Unbelievable crater .... we saw a few different animals here. Again our lodge was " first class" overlooking the crater.

The large number of lions here saw here was second to none in East Africa. We also saw a few chowing down on a zebra!

It is hard to go to Tanzania, and not see the Ngorongoro Crater. Though it can sometimes be crowded during high season, it is such a famous destination, and is a must see at some point or another. It has breathtaking vistas, and the terrain is unmatched. It is also a treat to see the native Maasai in their element, going about their business as you traverse through the area. Wonderful place.

To see the lions that rule the crater is incredible. We love this area and hiking around the area to the elephant caves as well.

Wonderful experience. You see many other vehicles and people. This was much different than our Serengeti experience.

While we didn't get very close to the animals at the crater, the scenery alone was worth the trip. It was magnificent!

Interesting geology, great drive into the crater and wonderful views from the top. We didn't see as many animals as the Serengeti (it was July) but we did see many varieties (missed the Rhino) including a kill.
