Ngorongoro Crater & Conservation Area

The Ngorongoro Crater, often dubbed “Africa’s Eden,” is the world’s largest unbroken and unflooded volcanic caldera. Formed over two million years ago, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is home to over 25,000 animals, including lions, black rhinos, elephants, and flamingos. The lush crater floor, encompassing forests, swamps, lakes, and grasslands, provides a fertile habitat that supports this dense wildlife population year-round.

Game drives in the crater offer exceptional photographic opportunities and close encounters with the Big Five. The surrounding Ngorongoro Conservation Area also includes archaeological sites like Olduvai Gorge, where some of the earliest human remains were discovered, offering historical and scientific appeal. The crater’s enclosed ecosystem is a prime location for both wildlife viewing and cultural tourism with nearby Maasai communities.
