Tanzania Crater view, Ngorongoro Crater National Park

  • Please log in or sign up for free to see the GPS coordinates & weather for this photo spot
This Crater view is on your one-way drive out of the national park where you can stop for a quick picture. Use this chance!


Ngorongoro Crater is one of Africa’s most extraordinary natural wonders, formed from a collapsed volcanic caldera millions of years ago. It shelters a dense concentration of wildlife, including lions, elephants, rhinos, and vast herds of wildebeest and zebra. With its dramatic landscapes and rich biodiversity, the crater offers a unique glimpse into a perfectly balanced natural ecosystem.

Photography Tips

Use a lens with as wide an angle as possible to capture the entire width of the 24 km wide crater in your photo.

Otherwise you can use the lowest mm that you have with you and do multiple pictures for a panorama via your editing tools like lightroom or photoshop.

Travel Information

On your way out of the park you will pass here and have the opportunity to make a quick stop. It is the only way to leave the park so take a closer look outside for this exact angle.

Book your game drive in advance. In most of the lodges the game drives are included. Would prefer to book a package with a provider.
