Ngorongoro Conservation Area

Welcome to Ngorongoro, a place of extraordinary natural beauty and wildlife wonder, located in northern Tanzania, East Africa. Ngorongoro Conservation Area is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a testament to the Earth’s remarkable biodiversity.

At the heart of this conservation area lies the Ngorongoro Crater, a massive volcanic crater known as the “African Eden.” It’s one of the most pristine and ecologically diverse places on the planet, home to the Big Five—lions, leopards, elephants, buffalos, and rhinos.

Ngorongoro is also a place where Maasai pastoralists coexist with wildlife. Experience the rich Maasai culture through cultural visits and interact with local communities.

The Ngorongoro Conservation Area boasts stunning landscapes, including lush forests, sweeping grasslands, and serene lakes, like Lake Magadi. The scenery is a photographer’s dream.
