Ngorongoro Crater & Karatu Holidays

Ngorongoro safari holidays offer the chance to experience one of the world’s largest volcanic calderas and some of East Africa’s most rewarding wildlife viewing.

Formed millions of years ago by the collapse of a massive volcano, the Ngorongoro Crater is vast, and the views from its 600-metre-high rim are truly breathtaking. The crater floor supports one of the densest concentrations of wildlife in East Africa, home to big cats, rhino, and thousands of zebras, wildebeest and gazelle.

Just an hour or so to the south, the district of Karatu offers a relaxed pace, with attractive lodges set among rolling farmland and coffee plantations. As well as serving as a convenient gateway to the crater, the area offers a variety of cultural and outdoor activities that perfectly complement a Ngorongoro safari holiday.

Trailfinders offers a range of Ngorongoro Crater safari holidays and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to visit the Ngorongoro Crater on a private safari or small group safari or are looking for advice on the best place to stay – they are the perfect people to ask.
