The area is also known for its dense wildlife populations, including the 'big 5' game, and its annual migration of wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, and other animals.

Kids on Safari: Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania
Activities: We visited the Ngorongoro Crater from Gibb's Farm. We saw lots of zebra, wildebeest, gazelle, buffalo and other similar creatures. We also saw a lioness with her freshly killed zebra, hippo, jackal, hyena, warthogs, and elephants
Highlights: DD5 was thrilled to see a rhino through R's camera with its 400mm zoom. DS2 had no idea what we were looking at as his window didn’t look out at the lioness and DD5 was very matter-of-fact about it and didn’t seem bothered by seeing a dead zebra ✨
