Best Time to Visit Ngorongoro Crater
Ngorongoro shines every month, but here’s how to pick your vibe:
-
June to October (Dry Season):
Clear skies and crowded waterholes mean epic wildlife sightings. Lions and rhinos are easy to spot. Book early with Olpopongi Adventure—it’s peak time!
January to March (Short Dry Season):
Green hills bloom, and baby animals scamper. Fewer crowds make it cozy, with crisp views.
April to May (Wet Season):
Lush scenery and quieter trails. Some muddy tracks, but our 4x4s handle it. Great for budget deals.
November to December (Short Rains):
Vibrant landscapes and fewer tourists. Wildlife stays active, and rates dip.
