Things To Do On Your Next Ngorongoro Safari In Tanzania
The Ngorongoro Crater is located near the town of Arusha, Tanzania. The word “Ngorongoro” is a Maasai word that the Maasai warriors use do term the sound of the jingle bell that is always tied on the throat of the lead cow in the herd. A massive volcanic explosion 23 million years ago created the crater and today its rim stands 1,800 metres above sea level and more than 2,000 metres higher than the Serengeti Plains.
Here are some of the top attractions to not miss out on your next Safe Ngorongoro Tarangire and Serengeti Safari.

Photographic safari:
If you have already been on a game drive at the Ngorongoro Crater and enjoyed yourself, you may want to organize another safari, this time solely for photography.
