What to know before visiting Ngorongoro Conservation Area

Ngorongoro Conservation Area is one of Tanzania’s most unique safari destinations, combining breathtaking scenery, rich wildlife, and ancient human history. Its centerpiece is the Ngorongoro Crater, the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera, formed over two million years ago. The crater creates a natural enclosure for a wide variety of wildlife, including lions, elephants, buffaloes, zebras, and one of Tanzania’s few remaining populations of black rhinos. The area also includes Olduvai Gorge, an important archaeological site often called the “Cradle of Mankind.” With lush crater floors, soda lakes, and nearby highland forests, Ngorongoro offers spectacular landscapes and excellent game viewing year-round. It's ideal for travelers seeking a mix of nature, wildlife, and ancient human history in one destination.

  • Ngorongoro Crater (world’s largest unbroken caldera)
  • Black rhino sightings
  • Dense wildlife population in a small area
  • Olduvai Gorge archaeological site
