Mobile ticket
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.

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

5.00I 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!
Extraordinary Place

4.00The crater is extraordinary and a must see to take in its vastness and beauty. To see herds of various animals together is a bit surreal; everywhere you turn looks like a page out of Nat Geo. It can get pretty busy though so if that bothers you, then try and stay somewhere close to get the earliest access to the park as possible. The plus side of it being busy is that guides from all different operators help each other spot animals so there’s a good chance that you’ll see most of the big 5. Gabriel, our host, met us at our hotel the evening prior to give us a briefing on what to expect the next day. He then met us after the tour to welcome us back, checking in to see how we enjoyed our safari. Our driver, Godfrey, was very patient in waiting for everyone to take their pictures and have a look through the binoculars. Overall the service was excellent although I do have a few suggestions to anyone who is considering taking this tour with this particular outfitter: 1. Bring insect repellent and sunscreen 2. Know that there are charge ports in the jeep so you can recharge your phones/equipment if needed 3. You may want to bring your own binoculars as there is only one pair in the Jeep. Everyone in our group was very good at sharing but something to consider if you prefer to have a longer time with them. I wish we were told of these things in advance - especially the charging ports as my battery drained very quickly within a few hours of the safari and I did not have the use of my phone camera for the balance of the day. My fault for not bringing my battery pack but in any event, I’ve shared these suggestions with Godfrey so that he’s aware. Enjoy!
Amazing 🤩

5.00Our Ngorongoro Crater safari with African Platinumz Safaris was absolutely incredible. The highlight was definitely our guide, Benjamin. Their knowledge of the park and the animals was amazing; they knew exactly where to go to find lions, rhinos, and even a leopard! The drive into the crater was breathtaking, and the wildlife viewing was beyond our expectations. Everything was perfectly organized, from the comfortable vehicle to the picnic lunch with a view. A massive thank you to the team for an experience we'll never forget. #Hakuna Matata
