Worth it - I booked this last minute and I'm so glad I did. It was a wonderful full day. I was picked up on time and there was good communication beforehand on WhatsApp. We drove for about 1 hour then had a delicious breakfast stop with a full meal of fruit, omelette and veggies. We then drove through Ngorongoro crater. We had an amazing lunch of rice, spaghetti, avocado and traditional Tanzania lentil stew and spinach near a pond with hippos. Honestly, the food on this tour is some of the best I had on my trip in TZ! We saw zebras, wildebeest, hippos, a rhino and a lion. Our driver was very skilled. We got back to Arusha around 7pm due to traffic. It was a wonderful trip!

#Hakuna Matata - Our Ngorongoro Crater safari with African Platinumz Safaris was absolutely incredible. The highlight was definitely our guide, Benjamin. Their knowledge of the park and the animals was amazing; they knew exactly where to go to find lions, rhinos, and even a leopard! The drive into the crater was breathtaking, and the wildlife viewing was beyond our expectations. Everything was perfectly organized, from the comfortable vehicle to the picnic lunch with a view. A massive thank you to the team for an experience we'll never forget. #Hakuna Matata

An Extraordinary Birthday in the Ngorongoro Crater - We booked a day trip to the Ngorongoro Crater for my birthday and it was absolutely phenomenal. The safari vehicle picked us up at our hotel in the morning, which was punctual. Entry into the crater was already sorted for us by Euphoria - all we had to do was take in the view and enjoy every single second of the stunning wildlife. A huge highlight for me was seeing the black rhino! We had a beautiful lunch by the Hippo Lake. Much to my surprise, Gabriel had organised a wonderfully thoughtful birthday treat (a lovely bottle of red wine!) along with lunch. Talk about the most exquisite lunch experience amongst breathtakingly surreal scenery. I want to extend my most heartfelt thank you to Gabriel, not only for his outstanding hospitality but also his unwavering professionalism from start to finish. Another huge thank you to Noel, our driver for the day, who doubled up as an absolutely fantastic guide during our drive through the Crater. I would endlessly recommend booking your next (or first, like mine) safari experience with Euphoria Safaris. My family and I had the most beautiful day, and I will be making sure I place my next adventure booking in the same reliable hands.

Extraordinary Place - The crater is extraordinary and a must see to take in its vastness and beauty. To see herds of various animals together is a bit surreal; everywhere you turn looks like a page out of Nat Geo. It can get pretty busy though so if that bothers you, then try and stay somewhere close to get the earliest access to the park as possible. The plus side of it being busy is that guides from all different operators help each other spot animals so there’s a good chance that you’ll see most of the big 5. Gabriel, our host, met us at our hotel the evening prior to give us a briefing on what to expect the next day. He then met us after the tour to welcome us back, checking in to see how we enjoyed our safari. Our driver, Godfrey, was very patient in waiting for everyone to take their pictures and have a look through the binoculars. Overall the service was excellent although I do have a few suggestions to anyone who is considering taking this tour with this particular outfitter: 1. Bring insect repellent and sunscreen 2. Know that there are charge ports in the jeep so you can recharge your phones/equipment if needed 3. You may want to bring your own binoculars as there is only one pair in the Jeep. Everyone in our group was very good at sharing but something to consider if you prefer to have a longer time with them. I wish we were told of these things in advance - especially the charging ports as my battery drained very quickly within a few hours of the safari and I did not have the use of my phone camera for the balance of the day. My fault for not bringing my battery pack but in any event, I’ve shared these suggestions with Godfrey so that he’s aware. Enjoy!
