The Ngorongoro Crater and surrounding highlands together form one of Africa’s most beautiful regions. Volcanic craters form stunning backdrops to some of the most fertile and richest grazing grounds in Africa. The most famous such crater is without question the Ngorongoro Crater, the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera and home to the highest density of big game in Africa, including all the big five and plenty of predators. The Ngorongoro is justifiably one of the continent’s most famous safari destinations.

Well organized safari with a very good lunch
minolauri,,Feb 1, 2026

4.00This 1-day-safari was our first. The breakfast place was pleasant and lunch was very good. Our driver was fast. Maybe even a bit too fast for our liking on narrow road along the crater ridge. On the other hand he listened to the radio and helped us find even some rhinos. There was a small delay during pick-up as the organizer forgot which hotel we were staying. Pick-up was on time otherwise and communication was good. Altogether well organized.
Lucky day in Ngrongoro

5.00By nature, your satisfaction level for this kind of experience really depends on what you could see on the day of your visit. Having said that, I was quite lucky, in that I could see everthing I wanted to see (all the popular animals, incl. lion from 2m away, and also jackal hunting baby gazelle). Disclaimer for visitor: be prepared for the heat and dust. Massive thanks to the tour guide Simba and the driver Ali!
Unforgettable day

5.00A memorable day thanks to the professionalism of this agency. Everything was very well organized, the transfers were perfectly arranged to the crater of Ngorongoro. The place is beautiful. Ali's a great driver. We even got a little gift when we got back from our long day. Euphoria tours is the company to book during your stay in Tanzania.

5.00An amazing expérience! We have booked this tour through Viator and were absolutely impressed by the service. Gabriele called us the day before to explain us all détails about the journey. The next day, Ali came to our hotel to pick us up, he was on Time, really friendly and very professional. We also had a stop for breakfast which was really appréciated. From Arusha Ngorongoro is about 4 hours driving. We saw many animals, lunch was good. The site is also very impressive. When came back at the hotel, the agency also offers is a gift. Do not hesitate to book with Euphoria Safaris, you will enjoy an unforgettable day.
Bumpy roads to the crater

4.00No fault of the tour company, the guide was great. I did not enjoy the long drive to the crater. We sat in the back of the vehicle and it was torture. We saw a lot of zebras, a Giraffe crossing the road and baboons at the entry to the park. We also had a picnic while watching the hippopotamus swim in the water nearby. Make sure you bring your own toilet paper because most washrooms did not have any. Also hand sanitizer. Again it’s a horrible long bumpy drive to the crater and I would not do it again.
It was perfect, I highly recommend

Great day with Euphoria

5.00We booked a on day tour to the crater. Euphoria was very easy to work with and Salim, our guide was great. We were staying at the Tucaro Ngorongoro Valley and they picked us up and dropped us off at the hotel. It was everyone we could ask for for the day trip, lunch was great and Salim was very knowledgeable. We book directly with Euphoria and it was very easy. It was also my first time booking an excursion via TripAdvisor, which gives an extra layer of security and it was great. Highly recommend.
The best organizer in Tanzania

5.00One of the best tour operators in Tanzania. Gabriel is really a very friendly person who will do anything to satisfy you. You can book with them without fear, they are at the top.
Worth it

5.00I booked this last minute and I'm so glad I did. It was a wonderful full day. I was picked up on time and there was good communication beforehand on WhatsApp. We drove for about 1 hour then had a delicious breakfast stop with a full meal of fruit, omelette and veggies. We then drove through Ngorongoro crater. We had an amazing lunch of rice, spaghetti, avocado and traditional Tanzania lentil stew and spinach near a pond with hippos. Honestly, the food on this tour is some of the best I had on my trip in TZ! We saw zebras, wildebeest, hippos, a rhino and a lion. Our driver was very skilled. We got back to Arusha around 7pm due to traffic. It was a wonderful trip!
