  BEST WAY TO EXPERIENCE THE CRATER...!

  The best way to experience Ngorongoro Crater is by leveraging the expertise from one of the local guide or safari services. Most of the crater lodges have professional guides as part of the safari and accommodation experience they provide to you. Your vehicles may vary, but you should be in a safari vehicle that has a removable or raisable roof that allows you to stand inside the vehicle and look out over the wildlife. Ideally, there will just be no more than 3 or 4 in the vehicle or you might be squeezing and wrestling for space when it comes to viewing some of the wildlife you might encounter.
  More than likely, your guide will have secured a packed lunch to take along with you so that you can explore the crater floor the entire day. There is a great watering hole that features a place to stop to take a break and enjoy your lunch. Don't close your eyes and continue to pay attention because you may encounter more wildlife.
