Inside The Crater

Ngorongoro Crater is a vast volcanic basin where wildlife thrives year-round within steep forested walls, creating one of Africa’s most concentrated safari environments.

This collapsed volcano shelters grasslands, wetlands, and woodlands within a single enclosed space, supporting thousands of animals, permanent water sources, and rare species while remaining accessible on Tanzania’s northern safari circuit.

On our first African Safari, I booked our Zimbabwe portion through Where To Africa Experiences - this was one of the best decisions I made on the entire trip.

I took 13 people to Victoria Falls for 3 nights and had a trip with Where To Africa. They made everything very easy, and the payment process was straightforward.
