Ngorongoro Crater

Safari Highlights

Discover the dense rainforest which covers most of the Ngorongoro Highlands, an excellent area for walking and hiking. Trek into Empaakai and Olmoti Crater, walk with a Maasai guide through their cattle herds and view their scattered, sometimes temporary, homesteads.

Drive down into Ngorongoro Crater, where large prides of lion hunt and huge clans of spotted hyena roam among the thousands of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle which live around the central soda lake, on the grasslands and swamps and in the Lerai and Ngoitokitok forests. Watch elephant and buffalo, rhino and baboon, taking advantage of the shade in these yellow-barked acacia forests.

Venture on to the shores of Lake Magadi for spectacular close-ups of flamingo, pelican, cormorant, Egyptian geese and many other water birds.

Admire the elegant secretary bird and crowned crane as they pick their long-legged way across the grasslands and watch out for the golden blur of a serval cat leaping from the undergrowth.

Laugh at the clumsy hyena loping into the water, trying for a flamingo snack. Ngorongoro can be visited throughout the year. During the ‘green season’ it is spectacular, with carpets of wildflowers and birds in their dazzling and extravagant mating plumage.

Enjoy the comfort of your nights on safari with AFRICAT, in Lodges & Camps, both within and outside the parks.  For following the great migration, we use mobile camps, which enable us to stay very close to the herds.
