Rank : 9.3 (average on 29 votes)

Coordinates : -3.172911,35.562716 (Open in Google Maps)

Subjects : All classic savannah animals ... to name a few: Loxodonta africana (elephant), Cercopithecus aethiops, Papio sp. (Baboon), Connochaetes taurinus (GNU) Alcelaphus buselaphus cokii (hartebeest Coke), Equus quagga (Zebra), Panthera leo (Lion), Struthio camelus (Ostrich), Acinonyx jubatus (Cheetah), Gazella thomsoni (Thomson's Gazelle) , Syncerus caffer (Buffalo), Hippopotamus amphibius (hippopotamus), Crocuta crocuta (Hyena), Balearica pavonina (Crane Pavonina). In addition, the views magnificent landscapes offer great ideas!

Recommended equipment : A 300mm with multipliers is more than enough, most of the animals is very confidant. All photos you take out of the jeep and it is almost impossible to mount the tripod, so you have to shoot free hand or leaning on the window: for this reason I prefer the 300mm instead of the heavier 500 and 600. I also recommend a standard zoom and a wide-angle lens for shooting landscapes; almost useless macro.

Best months : All year round (I have visited in July, the coolest month). The rainy season runs from November to March and from April to October the weather is dry, although we found in July we often overcast and even fog, on the slopes of the crater (but the clouds are great for photography!) .

How to get there : It 'necessary to do an organized trip (from Italy or by an agency of the place). The cost of the flight to Tanzania is about 800-900 euro.

Visits : Only guided tours, jeep with driver and guide. The cost of access is $ 50 per person and $ 200 for cars, but is usually included in the cost of the travel package.

Notes : It 'a destination quite expensive, but really beautiful, the scenery and the abundance of animals jaw-dropping. You can sleep in the lodge, modern and very expensive ($ 100 a night and up), or in cheaper campsites for those who have a spirit of adaptation, some are really very basic. The temperature in certain months can be very cold, suggest you bring some warm clothes: the edges of the crater are at 2400 meters! In July (the coldest month) we did not find mosquitoes in Ngorongoro, but if you visit other areas as malaria prophylaxis recommendations.
