Serengeti Ngorongoro Crater Tour

Overview

The Great Migration in Africa is a natural event no nature-lover should miss in their lifetime, earning a place on everyone’s bucket list. Set in the birthplace of humanity, the migration of thousands of wildebeests and zebras across the river is a quintessential wildlife experience that often overwhelms the spectators.

 

There are three components to this spectacular event. The first is the military-style movement of fauna as they move across the savannahs of Serengeti and witness the herd mentality of these animals. The second is seeing thousands of wildebeests and zebras as tiny black spots from the viewpoint. The third and most thrilling component is the animals crossing the river, as crocodiles lay waiting for their bait– the fight for survival.

The best to visit Ngorongoro depends on what your interests are. Each season brings its own unique experiences and opportunities. So here are the best times to visit Ngorongoro Crater based on the seasons and activities.

 

The Rainy Season

During November and December expect minor rainfall which will create a warm humid environment. However, it’s important to keep in mind that the crater rim might have a significantly colder climate, so it’s best to have warm clothing.

 

Calving Season

Get ready to be mesmerized in January and February by the amazing sight of newborn wildebeest calves on the Ngorongoro Grasslands, right outside the crater’s limits. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for photography enthusiasts. It is incredible to see these newborns fight to stand up straight minutes after birth. It’s important to remember that predators hiding nearby are continuously keeping an eye on the young. You can see hyenas, leopards, cheetahs, and even lions pursuing their natural prey.

 

Majestic Rainfall 

From mid-March to May, there is an abundance of long rains that soak the plains and turn them into a lush, vibrant green landscape. Since this period is regarded as the low season, it is the perfect opportunity for safari enthusiasts on a tight budget to take advantage of discounted rates immediately before the start of the high season. The possibility to see rare ground-nesting species that are essentially unique to this region, such as the splay-footed ostrich, kori bustard, and the interesting secretary bird, makes May a particularly exciting month for birdwatchers. Augur buzzards and long-crested eagles can also be seen descending gracefully over the crater rim, and flamingos gathering above Magadi Lake cause the sky to turn a lovely shade of pink.

 

High Season

The dry season begins in June, marking the start of the busy travel season, which lasts until October. During this time, rates for accommodation options close to the crater typically reach their highest levels. Due to the wildlife’s outstanding visibility in the harsh landscape and their frequent journeys to watering holes, which make it easier to discover near lakes, the dry months are popular with travelers. During this time of year, it’s not unusual to have the amazing chance to see a leopard, lion, rhino, buffalo, and elephant all in one day.

 

Don’t miss the chance to go on the memorable adventure of a Serengeti Ngorongoro Crater tour. Regardless of the season, the Ngorongoro Crater is an experience that is truly priceless. Reach out to us today to explore the Ngorongoro safari packages created for your dream safari holiday.
