Despite the above, other small animals are also seen here in the Crater. The Crater is also home to around 500 bird species including the small and biggest birds.
The Ngorongoro Crater has limited safari activities such as game drives, Walking safari, and cultural visits to the Masai villages. Here in this article, we have given some ideas about the safari activities done in Ngorongoro Crater.
Game drives into the Ngorongoro Crater through a lush highland forest, with magnificent birdlife and different tree species is just magical.
The crater has its ecosystem due to its enclosed nature. This is where you can visualize all the rare special things in Africa through a game drive.
Walking through the Crater among the wildlife is breathtaking. During your walk along the Crater rim will take you through gorgeous foliage, colorful wildflowers, and lush trees unique to the Ngorongoro Highlands.
So, walking safari is something more adventurous than the game drive and drives you towards inner pleasure.

Olduvai Gorge tour is a must-visit destination while your safari to Ngorongoro Crater.
Meeting Maasai tribes is on many people’s bucket lists after seeing photos of Maasai warriors jumping high in the air. Wearing their traditional red robes the Maasai are the most known of all nomadic tribes out there.
They are welcoming and friendly. Friends with them and you can learn about their rich culture and ancient traditions.
The choice is whether to stay at a hotel on the Crater rim for the magnificent view or away from the Crater in nearby Karatu. But it doesn’t impact the experience you will gain from your Ngorongoro Crater safari.
The advantages of Karatu include the lack of crowds, better prices, and smaller and more intimate lodges which offer a range of safari activities.
On the rim, the Ngorongoro Crater Lodge is the best luxury hotel and is mind-blowing. The Serena and the Sopa have equally remarkable views of the Crater floor and are much more affordable options. But they are large in size and fairly old hotels.
