Ngorongoro Crater lies within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. From the rim, the land drops into a broad caldera containing grassland, woodland and a shallow lake. A descent to the crater floor brings a different perspective on this distinctive landscape.
Allow time for the highlands as well as the crater. A visit can connect naturally with the Serengeti, Lake Manyara or Tarangire, with the driving route and overnight stops shaped around the rest of your safari.
Best time to visit
Wildlife viewing is possible throughout the year; rain, visibility and highland temperatures vary with the season.
Getting here
Usually reached by road from Arusha via Karatu, or connected with the Serengeti on a northern safari route.
