A day trip from Arusha is a popular way to visit Ngorongoro Crater. You’ll arrive in the area by mid-morning and, after spending some time admiring the landscape from above, dip down into the crater for a game drive just before lunchtime.
You could also opt for a multi-day safari tour that includes Ngorongoro along with the likes of Tarangire National Park. This is a great way to see more of Tanzania if your time and budget allows.
Taking a crater rim walk is one of the best things to do in the Ngorongoro Highlands. Not only will you get to spot birds and unique flora, but peering over the edge of the crater rim and spotting wildlife below is awe-inspiring.
