Ngorongoro Crater Safari

Looking for the perfect 5-star safari recipe? Take 30 000 animals, including the Big 5, and pack them into a steep-walled extinct volcanic crater. Add a mix of habitats from forest to wetlands and throw in a lake for fun. Make sure there are no signs of man in the crater itself, but decorate the crater rim with a selection of superb, top-end lodges and finish off with a sprinkling of red-robed Maasai warriors tending their cattle.

An Ngorongoro Crater safari is without question one of the best safari experiences on the African continent. What the 260 km² crater lacks in size is more than compensated by the game viewing, rated as phenomenal even by East African standards.

The Big 5 in a single drive? More than likely. Classic views of flamingo-covered wetlands? Got it. Chances of seeing a kill? More than good.

And it's not like staying there is a problem either: have a look at our range of Ngorongoro Crater accommodation - we've selected only the very best lodges both perched on the rim with the best views in Africa to nearby luxury accommodation.

 We've also  got a great selection of Ngorongoro tours to choose from.  An Ngorongoro Crater safari is usually part of Tanzania's famous 'northern safari circuit' but there are some fantastic beach and bush combinations - after all this amazing game viewing you may need to unwind on a tropical beach somewhere.

Ngorongoro Crater safari - everything a safari should be.
