About Ngorongoro Conservation Area

The Ngorongoro Conservation Area is a UNESCO World Heritage site celebrated for its unique combination of natural wonders, wildlife and human history. Spanning approximately 8,300 square kilometers, it is home to the iconic Ngorongoro Crater โ€” the world's largest intact volcanic caldera and one of Africa's finest wildlife destinations.

This unique ecosystem shelters over 25,000 large animals, including lions, elephants, rhinos and buffalo, making it one of the best places in Africa to see the Big Five in a single morning. Beyond the wildlife, visitors can explore Olduvai Gorge โ€” the 'Cradle of Mankind' โ€” and meet the Maasai people who live in harmony with the wildlife here.
