Ngorongoro Conservation Area

An excellent paradise, a world heritage site and an international biosphere reserve a tourist rewarding destination, a home of pastoralists, a source of water for neighboring areas, and assets of national values and an area of international interests.

Ngorongoro is a huge caldera (collapsed volcano), 250 sq km in size and 600 m deep. The crater alone has over 20,000 large animals including some of Tanzania’s remaining black rhino. In summer, enormous numbers of Serengeti migrants pass through the plains of the reserve, including 1.7 million wildebeest, 260,000 zebra, and 470,000 gazelles. Waterbuck occur mainly near Lerai Forest; servals occur widely in the crater and on the plains to the west. Common in the reserve are lions, hartebeest, spotted hyenas and jackal. Cheetahs, although common in the reserve, are scarce in the crater itself.

The Makat soda lake is great attraction for flamingos and other water birds; while predators hide in the marsh to ambush animals that come to drink water from the river that feeds the lake. Large antelope and zebra heads come to drink while heads of hippos sun themselves in the thick lake shore mud. The Maasai society is another amazing concept to consider at Ngorongoro because they are living with their cattle, sheep and goats while building their cultural bomas which are very interesting to many visitors.
