The Ngorongoro Crater, located in northern Tanzania, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Africa's most iconic natural wonders. Formed by the collapse of a volcanic caldera millions of years ago, the crater is home to an incredible array of wildlife and stunning landscapes, making it a must-visit destination for safari enthusiasts.
Finally, Ngorongoro Crater stands as a testament to the intricate interplay between nature and wildlife conservation. Its unique geological features, coupled with the abundance of diverse wildlife, make it a must-visit destination for those seeking an immersive safari experience in Tanzania.
Tanzania Oribi Safaris helps you explore some of the most brilliant activities, unexplored Ngorongoro Crater which will make your Tanzania Safari the most promising of all.
The Ngorongoro Crater spans approximately 260 square kilometres and reaches depths of up to 600 meters, creating a unique ecosystem within its walls. The crater's floor is a patchwork of grasslands, forests, and freshwater lakes, while the surrounding rim is covered in dense montane forests. The climate is generally mild and temperate, with cool temperatures in the higher elevations and warmer conditions in the crater basin.
The Best Time to Visit the Ngorongoro Crater is during the dry season, which runs from June to October. During this period, wildlife congregates around the crater's water sources, offering excellent opportunities for game viewing. Additionally, the dry season provides clear skies and pleasant weather for outdoor activities such as game drives and hiking. However, the crater can get crowded during peak tourist season, so visiting during the shoulder months of November to May can offer a quieter experience.
Lions: Spot prides of lions lounging in the grasslands or hunting for prey on the crater floor.
The Ngorongoro Crater is located approximately 180 kilometres west of Arusha, making it easily accessible by road. Visitors can drive from Arusha or neighbouring towns.
Game Drives : Explore the crater floor on a thrilling game drive, encountering iconic African wildlife such as lions, elephants, and rhinos.
There is drama in Tanzania’s geography: the rolling plains of the Serengeti, snow capped peak of Kilimanjaro and the lush forests of the Ngorongoro Crater have all been recognised by UNESCO as World Heritage Sites.
