"Safari in Ngorongoro Crater review"

Based at Gibb's Farm on 5 Dec 2023
"Great day trip to the Crater, absolute abundance of animals everywhere. Backdrop of the crater against the animals is incredible. Density of animals is unlike any safari we have been on before. Felt a bit more 'touristy' compared to our Serengeti safari, with many more vehicles about. Would definitely recommend doing if you are nearby or passing, one day is definitely enough though" Read more about this whole safari

"Our guide, Anaeni, was excellent. He suggested an early start, which paid dividends as we were one of the first groups onto the crater floor and saw a lioness with her cubs at our first stop.

The rest of the day was a wonderful experience in which we saw many different animals and birds in beautiful locations, often in close proximity. Anaeni worked hard to ensure we got the very best from our visit; he is very knowledgeable and willing to discuss many aspects of the safari.

The Ngorogoro can be busy, so to get the most from your visit, a stay at Entamanu is certainly a good plan." Read more about this whole safari

"Ngorongoro Crater is magical, the drive down from crater rim early in the morning was breathtaking.

My favorite part about Ngorongoro (other than the scenary) was observing hippos in the hippo pool.

It was fascinating to watch them so close up! Would definitely recommend at least a full day in Ngorongoro!" Read more about this whole safari

Early morning game drive was key to avoiding the large crowds of safari vehicles. Thank you!" Read more about this whole safari

Based at The Highlands on 22 Sep 2023
"Our day in the crater was amazing and Godlisten worked really hard to ensure we saw as much as possible - especially when the report of a rhino sighting came over the radio.

It was a lot busier than all the other areas we visited during our time in Tanzania and we were quite often watching animals alongside 10 other vehicles. However despite this we were really glad we decided to visit Ngorongoro as it was so different from the other places and was one of the most beautiful places in the world."

Based at Ngorongoro Farmhouse Lodge on 30 Aug 2023
"Very good… because we had a lovely and informative guide. He spotted loads of animals and we had a very good day. It was a bit cloudy on descent but the sun soon burnt though the clouds.

We saw a Rhino in the distance, as well as water buffalo with ox peckers cleaning their ears and egrets sitting on their backs. Lots of egrets and water birds around the lake.

Hippos, and elephants and wildebeests. The latter even doing a mini migration in the crater… all walking in a line one after the other. No giraffes here.

Wonderful experience, descending into the crater and viewing the landscape and animals." Read more about this whole safari

Based at Entamanu Ngorongoro on 22 Aug 2023
"We enjoyed the day in the crater. It is worth an early start to get ahead of the jeeps coming in from further away. However, there are many routes so it is relatively easy to avoid most other vehicles.

The scenery was much more varied and attractive than we had anticipated and the wildlife, whilst not prolific, was still fascinating." Read more about this whole safari
