Ngorongoro Crater Fees
To enter the Ngorongoro crater there is a one off vehicle entry fee of USD 295 per vehicle above and beyond the individual entry fees. This USD 295 only needs to be paid if you plan to descend (drive inside) the crater otherwise you will need you are required to pay the NCA transit fees which are the same as the entry (not decent fees)
As an example, you want to drive from Arusha to Serengeti and while enroute, you will cross Ngorongoro Conservation Area before entering the Serengeti National Park. In this scenario, you will be required to pay the NCA Transit fees at the Ngorongoro gates which is same as the Ngorongoro park fees mentioned above in the tables. Yes, even if you do not plan to descend inside the Ngorongoro crater, you still need to pay the NCA Transit fees. You do not need to pay the Ngorongoro crater vehicle entry fee of USD 295 per vehicle in this case as you do not descend inside the crater.
