Ngorongoro Conservation Area
The Ngorongoro Conservation Area stretches from the Serengeti National Park in the north to the Great Rift Valley in the east. The protected area encompasses a total area of more than 8,000 km2 (3,200 sq. miles). It includes the Oldonyo Lengai Mountain, the Ngorongoro Crater, Ndutu, Olduvai Gorge, Empakaai, and Olmoti Crater. A variety of creatures call the mixture of forests, valleys, savannah, craters, lakes, and wetlands home.
The main attraction in this region is the well-known Ngorongoro Crater. The massive volcano blew up and erupted two to three million years ago, collapsing on itself. As a result, the crater developed, which led to the development of a distinctive ecosystem and a diverse range of plants.
The crater now supports the greatest amount of species in Africa. Zebras, buffalo, warthogs, baboons, elephants, flamingos, ostriches, and hippos reside there. Predators including lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and leopards can be found in large numbers. The Ngorongoro Crater’s Big Five — the buffalo, elephant, leopard, lion, and rhinoceros — are also a major draw. Enjoy the variety of wildlife and stunning landscape colors. Incredible views of the crater bottom may be seen from the rim of the crater. The crater is one of Africa’s Seven Natural Wonders due to its natural beauty.
It is also feasible to travel to the Maasai tribe while on safari. They are permitted to allow their animals to graze here. We advise you to schedule a Maasai Tour if you are serious about learning more about the customs and way of life of this fascinating tribe.
