Unlike all other game parks, the Ngoro-Ngoro animals have not been trained to stand alongside the road and pose for your viewing pleasure. |

Albert,
I'm glad I'm not the only person to feel that way about Ngorongoro. You must remebre though, that Ngorongoro isn't hailed as the world's greatest reserve. It is a fascinating geological and natural phenomenon, and the colours and textures of the landscape are incredible. The fact that there are a bunch of animals living side-by-side with Maasai herders in a crater only a few km's wide is quite surreal. A bit like a Dali painting :-) I was very dissapointed by the wildlife in Ngorongoro, but absolutely enchanted by the crater itsself. For good game viewing, I have yet to find better than Kruger Nat. Park in South Africa.

Jona,
Have you been to Ngorongoro? It's a 17km diameter crater with animals in it. How can they get away from the thousands of gawking visitors that pass through each day? Game viewing there is like shooting fish in a barrel. If you don't see the big five in one day, you're either not looking, or you're driving like a hooligan and scaring them away. You can't honestly believe that animals in Ngorongoro are "wild", and un-used to people. and that animals at other parks are are tame. Marc.

Nothing to see. Expected top Africa's park, but... only couple of old elephants, some zebras anb wildbest... but nothing more. Does anyone knows what's happening there? :-? You will see more there, then on the Ramblas I suppose? Ever heard about that the game moves into the forests to graze, look for shade etc.? Please, don't keep in touch... Corné. www.amukela.com |

What a smartass answers are been giving here. Expect not that everybody has the experience as some think they have. If you can not answer seriously then don’t. His question was “anyone knows what's happening there? :-?”
And if you do not know what is happening, just say it. That al the game is moving to the forest is the worst answer there is. And “grazing” in the “forest” is an answer for a hard laugh. Herds of wildebeest in the forest should make the crater great. At this time of the year Serengeti has lost it’s big herds of wildebeest en zebra’s to the Masai Mara. The Crater is often not what you expect if you have seen the television. So if one has just one day it is not difficult to have a bad day and that feels disappointing. Therefore the crater is not the worst. Indeed there is more to see. Rhino’s, lions and cheetah’s are not that easy to spot in the crater. For this you should have seen enough. Just see it as bad luck and do not blame nature as it is not a zoo like the television presents it. Gerald Quote:
