Six of the Greatest Safaris in Africa to Take in 2025

"Named after the Ngorongoro Crater, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area contains the largest intact caldera in the world, formed when a giant volcano exploded and which would once have towered higher than Mt. Kilimanjaro. I camped at the edge of the crater where animals freely walk in and out of the unfenced campground — you should not walk out of your tent at night — and I love trying to fall asleep to hungry lions howling in the distance; an adult day pass costs $50 USD per person." - Matthew Kepnes
