One of my favorites! The beauty of the crater can't be described and we constantly saw wildlife- including the Rhino!!! We also stayed in a luxury tent at the top of the crater where the weather was cold! It was so fun to stay in a place with weather that differed so much from other locations- It was my favorite camp of the trip.

The crater is spectacular! I have not seen a comparison yet. The beauty of the park is unparalleled. We saw the rare Black Rhinos in the morning and everything. The animals are habitually close to vehicles so the trucks can get very close without spooking them.

There is no place like it on earth. We saw 3 Black Rhino, albeit from a distance. The animals are used to the vehicles so I captured some great warthog shots (previously most warthog shots were of rear ends disappearing with their tails erect). It is busy in the morning with vehicles. However, many groups travel distances to get to and from the crater so they leave by 1 or 2 pm. Several great lion shots, hyenas, zebras etc. Not many species of birds due to the lack of trees.

Ngorongoro is one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. You will see every type of wildlife. I wish I had spent more time there.

The density of wildlife is unbelievable, it's almost overwhelming how much you see in such a short span of time. These were the most up-close and intense wildlife safari experiences.

Good, but very crowded with other jeeps. Didn't feel as 'wild' as the serengeti. This park was nice but didn't quite live up to our expectations.

Approaching Ngorongoro Crater one travels up the rim through lush rainforest. The view from the rim is breathtaking. The crater is vast and at first glance appears to be devoid of everything. The descent into the crater proves all of that wrong. There are animals everywhere in the crater. Your safari guides are experts in spotting animals and birds and getting you right up close to them. We saw everything, including the big five - even the black rhino! The safari ended with an adventure driving up and out of the crater. What a fabulous couple of days!

The crater is a really beautiful natural sight. From the rim but also inside the crater. We saw lots of Lions, Elephants, Buffallo's, Zebras, Giraffes, Wildebeest and many other animals. It was a bit disappointing the Rhino and its calf were so far away though. But then the spoiled me is talking. It was great and everybody should go there if you have the chance!
