Ngorongoro Crater Weather & Climate

The weather in Ngorongoro Crater is generally moderate and temperate, however it can be very cold between June and August whereas the weather from October to December is wonderful.

There are two short rainy seasons: one from April to May and one during the month of November, and they are characterised by magnificent thunderstorms.

The crater's unique positioning and the permanent sources of water and grassland available on its floor means that - unlike most other African destinations - the weather doesn't affect game viewing.

When to Go to Ngorongoro Crater

The crater is a year-round wildlife destination so there is no best time to go to Ngorongoro.
