Ngorongoro Conservation Area

The Ngorongoro Conservation Area is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Africa’s most extraordinary wildlife destinations. At its heart lies the Ngorongoro Crater, the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera, whose fertile floor supports an astonishing density of animals year-round. Lions, elephants, buffalo, hippos, zebras, wildebeest, and endangered black rhinos are commonly seen within the crater, while flamingos gather at its soda lakes. The wider conservation area includes highland forests, sweeping plains, archaeological sites such as Olduvai Gorge, and Maasai pastoral lands where people and wildlife coexist. Ngorongoro combines spectacular scenery, prime game viewing, and cultural heritage into a single unforgettable destination.
