Beyond Ordinary Travel
A Ngorongoro Conservation Area safari descends into Africa’s most extraordinary natural arena. The Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera. It measures 19 kilometres across and 600 metres deep. Around 25,000 large animals live within its fertile floor year-round. The crater walls form a natural enclosure. Wildlife rarely leaves. This makes the Ngorongoro Conservation Area safari one of Africa’s most reliable game viewing experiences. Lions, black rhino, elephant, hippo, and wildebeest are all present in impressive numbers. Flamingos colour the soda lake pink in the crater’s centre. The density of wildlife here is unmatched anywhere else in East Africa. The conservation area extends well beyond the crater itself. The Olduvai Gorge lies within its boundaries. This ancient site has yielded some of the world’s most important early human fossils. It is one of the most significant paleoanthropological sites on the planet. The Crater Highlands offer dramatic highland scenery and Maasai cultural encounters. A Ngorongoro Conservation Area safari combines wildlife, geology, archaeology, and culture in a single destination. Game drives descend to the crater floor each morning. The experience of entering this ancient caldera is unlike anything else in Africa.
