Ngorongoro Crater Safaris

Ngorongoro is a vast volcanic caldera, around 600 metres deep, with a permanent population of wildlife on its floor including one of the best chances in Tanzania to see black rhino.

A crater day usually starts early with the descent to the floor. It fits naturally between Tarangire or Lake Manyara and the Serengeti.

Who It Suits

Where to stay

Lodges on the crater rim give you the earliest start; Karatu, about 30 minutes away, has more options at different price levels.
