Crater experience - Driving down the crater was wonderful. Reaching out to different corner of the crater including edges of the water bodies was exciting. Weather was moderate. Animals were active. We saw deer, Hedgehog, crane, flamingo and the wild ones Lion, Rhino, Hippo, elephant, a few baby elephants playing. The view point provides a fantastic view of the crater. There is plenty of water and natural food through out the year. No doubt, the animals living there won't migrate. Mike is a wonderful guide. He knows how to spot the animals at the right location and the right time.

Stunning experience - so grateful! - Omar, our driver and guide, has a profund experience and extraordinary spirit: He knows every inch of Ngorongoro park and therefore we were able to discover all important animals you would love to see on a Safari. He is also very knowledgeable about important background information. did put us „in the drivers seat“ to chose how long we would like to stay observing an animal. I can only highly recomend him as a guide! Thanks also to „Mountain Warriors“ who collaborate inter-agency and made my Safari possible on short notice.

Highly recommend - Loved our guide! Very personable, engaging, and knowledgable. The crater is breathtaking from above, during the decent, and at the bottom. Animal sightings were non-stop and close encounters. We met up with another tour group from the same company for lunch and it was fun meeting the other guide and folks from EVERYWHERE! This was our second day trip with this same company and we found them to be reliable, safe, engaged in our enjoyment and a good value for the cost.

A very cool experience - The experience was really nice. We got a late start due some other guests being confused regarding the leave time. Our guide fifty was knowledgeable and very friendly. He went out of his way to accommodate us, make us feel comfortable, and see as much as possible.

This is my favorite tour... - This is my favorite tour of the big parks in Tanzania. The crater is really cool, and you see a great variety of animals. Rhinos are tough, so don't be those people who just keep asking about it the whole ride.....that's not really fair to the guide. Our guide got us to see elephants, lions, hyenas, baboons, gazelle, wildebeest, zebra, birds, and so much more. There aren't giraffes here, but that's what the other parks are for. It is a great place to go visit, honestly better than Serengeti (unless it's during the great migration). The guide, Shadie, (I hope I spelt it right) was a really cool guy and worked hard to find all of the animals he could, but he had some people in the front who just kept complaining, so we didn't get to interact with him as much as we'd like, i'd certainly still recommend him 100%. The tour is long, but well worth it. PS, they do give you water and an amazing lunch.

Nice tour except for the drive to Arusha - We really enjoyed the tour and can only recommend it! One point deducted because the return journey to our hotel in Arusha was very difficult! Our driver did not want to take us to our hotel, even though this was agreed in advance! He wanted to drop us off in the middle of Arusha and then wanted more money. He was very unfriendly and after a long discussion he angrily took us to our accommodation.

Ngorongoro Safari - What an incredible adventure. The photos of the landscape and animals were astonishing. I now have a video of a male lion walking alongside our vehicle. My only complaint, I have to switch vehicles 3 times to other groups to return to my hotel.
