Marvel at the teeming herds of zebras, gazelles, and wildebeests that roam freely across the crater floor. Discover the Lerai Forest, an oasis within the crater, where you can encounter playful monkeys and a variety of bird species. Ngorongoro offers a tapestry of natural wonders, waiting to be explored.
When to Go:
Ngorongoro welcomes visitors throughout the year, with each season offering its own unique experiences. The dry season from June to October is ideal for wildlife viewing, as animals gather around the remaining water sources. Witness the dramatic Great Migration in the neighbouring Serengeti as thousands of wildebeests and zebras cross the plains in search of fresh grazing lands. The green season from November to May transforms the landscape into a lush paradise, with newborn animals, vibrant flora, and fewer crowds. No matter when you visit, Ngorongoro promises unforgettable encounters with Africa's wildlife.
