"An eighth wonder"

Based at Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge on 26 Jan 2019
"A wonderful and amazing sight when first encountered. Masses of wildlife and beauty.

Arrive early for the best experience, however later in the day the number of vehicles was not as bad as expected.

End of January visit." Read more about this whole safari

"Safari in Ngorongoro Crater review"

Based at Gibb's Farm on 30 Oct 2018
"I'm glad we visited the crater because of its geological features. The trip into and out of the crater was rather intense - steep and rocky (which describes most of our drives). We did not see as much wildlife." Read more about this whole safari

"good first experience"

Based at The Highlands on 16 Sep 2018
"We saw lots of different animals in a single day.

Being in an enclosed vehicle gave less field of vision than being in an open sided one.

It was a long day due to the drive from our accommodation to the crater, but this did allow us to see lots of Masai village life along the way." Read more about this whole safari

"Safari in Ngorongoro Crater review"

Based at Plantation Lodge on 7 Jul 2018
"There are amazing animals in Ngorogoro crater. We even saw a rhino with its baby.

However, there really are a lot of safari vehicles, some of which are quite rude - cutting in front of you, speeding and blowing dust everywhere. When we saw the rhino there were over 30 vehicles.

I realize that's the price one pays for seeing remarkable animals in a remarkable place, but the amount of traffic was surprising" Read more about this whole safari

"Fantastic scenery - a must visit"

Based at Plantation Lodge on 8 Oct 2007
"Obviously you come prepared for lots of other vehicles but other than immediately you get down into the crater we felt the level of other vehicles was okay.
The natural environment both at the top & down in the crater is stunning - well worth our trip (we actually did a full day in the crater)
Take note - the road into the crater is truely dreadful - given the amount of fees that go to the park authority it really is a disgrace" Read more about this whole safari
