Health & Safety in the Ngorongoro Crater

Malaria is the biggest health risk in Tanzania. Consult your local doctor before leaving, and take the necessary precautions and prophylactics.

The closest hospitals to the Ngorongoro Crater are in Arusha and Nairobi, Kenya.

Tanzania is considered to be generally safe, and the only potential hazard you'll encounter is that posed by the numerous predators that live in the area.

The Ngorongoro may be a 'park' but remember that the carnivores would be only too delighted if visitors were to jump out their vehicles and attempt to pet them.
