Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania
An ancient volcano, the Ngorongoro Crater, with its lush vegetation, is home to more than 30 000 wild animals. This high density of animals has led to the Ngorongoro Crater being referred as the worlds largest open air zoo.
As a year round destination you can't beat the Ngorongoro Crater, because the animals don't leave the crater, you always have excellent game viewing. Most of the lodges at the Ngorongoro Crater are situated on the rim of the crater, looking down into the reserve. The drive onto the crater floor is steep, but worth it for the incredible animal sightings you are about to experience. You would choose a morning or afternoon safari into the Ngorongoro Crater.
