Ngorongoro NCA

Overview

Ngorongoro Crater is a Tanzanian must-see. Situated within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, a vast park of spectacular beauty, this caldera or collapsed volcano has created a mini game reserve with many habitats in a very small area. This provides a home to an incredibly diverse range of birds and animals including the Big Five in a concentrated space.
The area is unique in that it is a conservation area which allows human habitation. The local Maasai tribe still live on subsistence farming within the area. This also means that the area is not only a wonderful place to see the animals of Africa but also to get to know its people.
