Best time to visit Ngorongoro
Ngorongoro can be visited all year round, but the best time is during the dry season (June to October) when wildlife is easier to spot as animals gather around water sources. The green season (November to May) is also beautiful, with fewer tourists, lush landscapes, and excellent bird watching, although some roads may be muddy.
