Ngorongoro Crater

Prepare to witness a real-life Eden. The Ngorongoro Conservation Area is a UNESCO World Heritage Site centered around the magnificent Ngorongoro Crater, the world’s largest intact and unfilled volcanic caldera. After a breathtaking descent down the 600 meter high crater walls, you will find yourself in a self-contained ecosystem teeming with life. This “Noah’s Ark” of Africa is home to an astonishing concentration of wildlife, including the Big Five. Spot lions, elephants, buffalo, and leopards, and hold your breath for a chance to see the critically endangered black rhinoceros. The crater floor is a stunning mix of open grasslands, acacia forests, and the sparkling Lake Magadi, where flamingos gather. This is a place of profound beauty and unparalleled wildlife viewing, where humans and wildlife coexist in a unique conservation model that includes the local Maasai people.
