Ngorongoro Area Best Time to Visit

Overview

Ngorongoro is a dynamic geological ecosystem that has been changing slowly due to a lot of factors like global warming. You can find few animals which are residential and can be spotted throughout the year and few join the vast waves of migratory herds crossing the wider conservation area outside the crater. The fair answer to the best time to visit is quite difficult, and the seasonal climate fluctuations, migration and breeding patterns have a great influence on the choice of the best time to visit. However, the dry season is considered as the best one as the grass on the crater floor is short which makes the animal spotting easier. June to September is considered the dry season and also counted as a good time for general wildlife viewing. January and February is another great time which offers mass a great view of calving of wildebeest on the Ngorongoro grasslands outside the crater area, with thousands of newborn.
