Ngorongoro Crater
About Ngorongoro Crater
Nestled within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area in northern Tanzania, the Ngorongoro Crater is one of the world’s most breathtaking natural wonders. Formed from a collapsed volcanic caldera, this UNESCO World Heritage Site spans approximately 260 square kilometers and boasts some of the richest wildlife densities in Africa.
Coexistence of Nature and Culture
Beyond its stunning landscapes, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area is unique for its harmonious blend of nature and human heritage. The semi-nomadic Maasai people continue to live within the area, practicing traditional livestock grazing alongside abundant wildlife. This balance of conservation and cultural preservation makes Ngorongoro a model of sustainable land use.
