Ngorongoro Crater & Karatu Holidays

One of the world’s largest volcanic calderas, the Ngorongoro Crater offers amazing game viewing including the Big 5, while the farmlands of nearby Karatu are a great place to stay.

Formed millions of years ago from the collapse of a huge volcano, the Ngorongoro Crater is vast and the view from the 600m high rim is breathtaking. The crater floor boasts one of the densest animal populations in East Africa, with big cats, rhino, plus thousands of zebra, wildebeest and gazelle. An hour or so to the south, the district of Karatu is home to a number of charming lodges and a range of activities.
