Ngorongoro Crater’s Climate.
On the rim of the crater, which is 2,235 metres (7,264 feet) above sea level, lie Ngorongoro Safari Lodges. While the downer part of the crater is so hot during the day, it is believed that it is quite fresh in the upper parts and they experience very cold nights in the winter months of June to August.
(a). Dry season.
June to November experiences weather that is usually dry. July is the coldest month and highland temperatures may fall below freezing.
(b). Rainy season.
Although it rains any time from November to May, April to may experiences the longer rains. The amount and pattern of rainfall varies and a dry period in January and February may divide the rainy season into short and long rains. Because of their elevation, the forested eastern slopes get much more rain than arid country to the west. In the name of making the atmosphere clear to reveal good views, rains arrive in stormy showers during afternoons and nights.
Ngorongoro Crater floor.
From Malanja depression on the crater rim to the crater floor, a sheer dirt road slopes. With a small payment, Maasai women and children at the top of the road will let you take their photograph. The grassy and open Malanja depression offers a good place for sighting typical highland antelope, for example; Schalows Wheatear, kirks dik-dik, mountain reedbuck, plus striking auger buzzard.
