The Ngorongoro Crater is often called Africa’s Eden — and for good reason.

Because animals live inside the crater year-round, wildlife viewing is exceptional in any season.

A Ngorongoro day trip usually starts early from Arusha, Karatu, or after a Serengeti safari. You descend into the crater for a 5–6 hour game drive before exiting in the afternoon.

Many travelers choose this option as part of a 3 Day Tanzania Safari or combined with Tarangire National Park .
