You can leave the Serengeti and come to Ngorongoro crater and do a Game Drive and you won’t regret your money as the chances of seeing more animals are much higher. However it will depend on where your journey from the Serengeti begins. If it’s Seronera you can spend three hours depending on the road.

The months of June, July and August are often the coldest months so it is best to prepare by wearing warm clothes.

No booking required for Simba “A” campsite as it is a public campsite. You will only recurred to pay for it and you have to come with you camping gears.

Ngorongoro has two major seasons. Rainy season and dry season. Each season has its beauty; it only depends on what you need to see as all the seasons are enjoyable. Rainy Season which is November to April is more attractive as it is the time for wildebeest to breed and the breeding attracts large number of predators. Even more so in late February and March it’s the best time to see Wildebeest migration than in other months of the year. It is a time when migrant birds from other continents of the world come to many parts of Ngorongoro; multi-colored flowers bloom which in turn draws the butterflies and makes the area becomes more stunning and beautiful. Another thing that can surprise and fascinate you is the clouds. A thick cloud in the morning seems to cover the edges of the crater and sometimes the crater itself; and On the plains and especially the area’s leading up to Ndutu; you’ll notice it’s like clouds are pouring into the ground and as you approach them you encounter rain; you will see as the clouds form themselves and become rain. The short grass plains namely Ndutu and Ngorongoro are very interesting during this period. However, they are periods when rainfall is present in different areas and therefore you should be prepared and especially advised to use a four-wheel drive to avoid getting stuck in muddy areas. Dry Season which are the months of May and October are also interesting for game viewing. In Africa it is common to do tourism during the dry season as animals are mostly in areas with water sources.  For Ngorongoro this is absolutely true because first of all what makes animals present in abundance in the crater floor is plenty of food, water and grazing areas. However, in Ngorongoro there are those animals that they do not migrate; they are always there so not seeing them is very rare.
