Conquer the highest peak in Africa

The Ngorongoro Crater, at 2286 meters above sea level, is the largest unbroken caldera in the world. The crater (610 metres deep and 260 km squared) is a microcosm of East African scenery and game. Scenic grandeur and stunning views are the hallmark of this "8th wonder of the world".

 

The Maasai tribesmen have traditional grazing rights here and they may be seen in their distinctive dress, tending their herds of cattle.

 

Over 20,000 large animals including some of Tanzania's last remaining black rhino roam on the floor of this "Garden of Eden". Animals are free to leave or enter the crater but most of them stay because of the plentiful water and food available on the crater floor throughout the year. Large herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo and gazelles graze on the within the crater rim.

All these animals in turn support large predators such as lions and leopard, and scavengers such as hyena and jackals. More than a hundred species of birds reside within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area including: ostriches, kori bustards, secretary birds, crested cranes, egrets, red-billed ox-peckers and countless flamingos forming a pink blanket over the soda lake.
