Ngorongoro Crater and tourist overcrowding

Ngorongoro Crater... an iconic park and a breathtaking view!
In short, a park not to be missed.
And everyone has understood this well. Given its small size — 326 km², compared with over 14,000 km² for the Serengeti — and its appeal, you will encounter plenty of other visitors at the bottom of the crater, particularly at lunchtime, when all vehicles converge by the crater lake, the only spot where picnicking is permitted without extra charge.
Once you've factored this in, you can fully enjoy some of the finest views in Africa and the abundant wildlife of this unique caldera.
