NGORONGORO CRATER
Indisputably one of Africa's
true wonders of nature and an extraordinary place of haunting beauty,
with its grand majestic mountain ring and lake, pinkly shimmering in the
blue grey haze.
The Ngorongoro Crater
is one of the natural wonders of the world with one of the highest
wildlife densities on earth. In addition to large herds of antelopes,
wildebeest and zebra, sightings of the Big Five, lion, elephant, rhino,
buffalo and leopard, are frequent and the natural beauty of the crater
adds a grandeur to your safari experience that is unrivalled anywhere in
Africa.
The conservation area
is also home to Maasai people and their cattle which co-exist with the
existing wildlife in a unique ecosystem. The foothills between the
Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Lake Manyara offer beautiful lush green
landscapes dotted with small villages and picturesque coffee and tea
plantation which you can explore on bicycle horseback or on wonderful
walks.
