V.A.T Insider Tips
Important Note
- The Ngorongoro Crater is one of the best places to see all of the “Big Five” family members in closer proximity due to its unique and enclosed ecosystem.
- Black rhinos are most commonly seen in the Ngorongoro Crater, as this is one of the few places in Tanzania where they are protected and monitored.
- For elephant sightings, Tarangire National Park is unparalleled, especially during the dry season when they gather around the Tarangire River.
- The best lighting for photographing elephants is during the golden hour (first and last hour of sunlight), which accentuates their majestic presence.
