Tanzania · NGORONGORO CRATER SAFARIS
66 reviewed
You descend six hundred metres onto a grass floor with its own lake, its own lions and about twenty thousand animals that never leave. Descent permits are timed and the crater empties by mid-afternoon, so the tour you book decides how much of the morning you get. Here are the 15 best Ngorongoro trips, with descent fees, group sizes, and which ones pair the crater with Tarangire or Lake Manyara.
