Ngorongoro Crater


The Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s largest unbroken and unflooded volcanic caldera. The crater was formed after a Volcano exploded 2-3 million years ago. The original volcano was almost as high as Mt Kilimanjaro, but the remaining wall is around 500-600 metres.


Inside the crater is a population of around 25,000 animals including lions, elephants, black rhino, hippopotamus, wildebeest, gazelles and zebra.

  1. Faustin took me to Ngorongoro Crater in May 2009. It was after Terengire National Park and Lake Manyara which were amazing, so I was hoping it was going to live up to expectations.

    The crater and its wildlife is breathtaking and literally stunning and if you ever go anywhere you must visit here.

    Thanks a million to Faustin for making it perfect.

  2. Hi Faustin,
    I want to tell you how much we enjoyed the safari. We learned so much from you, about the animals, about the land and the people. We felt that you took very good care of us and made sure the accommodations were comfortable. Each national park had its strong points and special features, so we were thrilled to see the animals and birds up close, plus all the different plants and trees, craters and mountains, rivers, lakes and sky.
    We took a lot of pictures and I will try to send one to you, which you might want to use to promote your tours.
    After we left safari, we flew to Zanzibar. Believe me, it was totally different - we could have used a good guide. One of the things we did was go on a snorkling trip, with the group Safari Blue. You might like to try them, it's not fancy but the crew was very hospitable and generous. We had a great time.
    We wish you good health and good fortune in the future, and perhaps we will be able to afford to visit Tanzania again.
    Sincerely
    Joan Lippi
