Home to lions, elephants, rhinos, and flamingos, the Ngorongoro Crater Safari is a journey into nature’s ancient masterpiece.

🦁 Ngorongoro Crater Tanzania Safari Experience

The Ngorongoro Crater Safari is often called Africa’s Eden. As you descend 600 meters into the vast caldera, you’ll be greeted by herds of zebra, wildebeest, and the majestic Ngorongoro Crater lions. This is one of the few places on earth where you can witness the Big Five in one location.

Your safari can start from Arusha, passing through the scenic town of Karatu, where luxury lodges like Karatu Forest Tented Camp and Karatu Lodge Ngorongoro await to pamper you before or after your crater adventure.
