Ngorongoro Crater Safari

Ngorongoro Crater – A safari paradise in the world’s largest caldera

Ngorongoro Crater, the largest unbroken caldera on earth, offers an unparalleled safari experience. Located in northern Tanzania, close to the border of Kenya, this natural amphitheater teems with wildlife and is one of the most popular destinations in the world for safaris. If you’re planning on going on a Ngorongoro Crater safari you can expect to see everything from zebras to gazelles, wildebeests, and of course, “The Big Five”.

Aside from the exciting wildlife, the crater is also known for its breathtaking vistas that are unlike anything you’ve ever seen before! A large soda lake can be found in the heart of the crater, that quenches the thirst of Ngorongoro’s many animals. It’s not uncommon to see thousands of beautiful pink flamingos relaxing in the lake, which is a sight worth the visit on its own.

Standing on the crater floor reveals its staggering scale, as the rim soars 2,400 meters above sea level, enclosing 260 square kilometers of pure wonder. Seeing the true size of the crater with your own eyes is an experience you’ll never forget.

Best time to visit Ngorongoro Crater

There is never a bad time to explore this breathtaking location, and you’ll always have spectacular wildlife viewings all year round on a Ngorongoro Crater safari. However, you might have a different experience depending on when you visit. If you’re visiting in the wetter months during the period between November until May, you’ll typically have a greener landscape and slightly lesser crowds. During this period the crater transforms into a beautiful, lush landscape and raises the water level of Lake Magadi which attracts flamingos.

If you’re visiting during the dryer months during the period between June until October, the grass is a lot shorter which makes it much easier to spot wildlife. This period is typically the most popular time to visit which can make the crater slightly crowded at times.

No matter what time of the year you’re going on a Ngorongoro Crater Safari, it’ll surely be an amazing experience that will leave you with beautiful memories and wonderful pictures to bring back home.
