Ngorongoro Crater

Ngorongoro Crater – Nature’s Perfect Sanctuary

Imagine standing on the rim of a vast, ancient caldera, gazing down into a lush green paradise filled with wild animals, shimmering lakes, and dense forest. Welcome to the Ngorongoro Crater — one of the most breathtaking natural wonders in Africa and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Born of Fire, Shaped by Time

The Ngorongoro Crater was formed over two million years ago when a massive volcano erupted and collapsed on itself. What remains today is the world’s largest inactive, intact volcanic caldera, spanning 19 kilometers wide and sheltering a complete ecosystem within its walls.

Wildlife Like No Other

Ngorongoro offers a safari experience like nowhere else. Within its crater walls, you’ll find:

• The Big Five: lions, elephants, buffalo, leopards, and rhinos
• Rare black rhinos, thriving in the protected environment
• Huge herds of zebra, wildebeest, and gazelle
• Stunning flocks of flamingos at Lake Magadi
• Over 500 bird species soaring above forests and wetlands

Cultural Richness – Home of the Maasai

The Ngorongoro Conservation Area is not only a haven for wildlife, but also home to the Maasai people, who live in harmony with the land and their cattle. Visitors can engage with Maasai culture, learning about their unique traditions and vibrant lifestyle.
