Why this trip
A crater in which almost everything can be seen at once: Ngorongoro is the largest intact volcanic crater on earth and a natural amphitheatre full of wildlife. If you descend here, you experience game viewing in a small space. Ngorongoro Crater National Park forms the core, the surrounding Conservation Area is larger and includes the Olduvai Gorge. The Crater ViewPoint on the rim gives the overview early in the day, before the drive down begins.
For families and couples it is a day with many observations but little driving. You can stay overnight on the crater rim, for example in the Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge, the Ngorongoro Safari Lodge or the Pakulala Luxury Safari Camp. The country information gives July to October as the best travel time for Tanzania. It can be cool on the crater rim, so a warm layer belongs in your luggage.
Ngorongoro lies between Arusha, Tarangire and the Serengeti and can be planned as a stage of a northern route. Zanzibar is close as a finish by the sea. How many nights at the crater make sense is something you discuss with Swiss Vibes on a video call.
