 The
Ngorongoro Conservation Area stretches from the Karatu Highlands to
the Serengeti and covers an area of around 8300 sq km. Formed by the
same immense geological upheavals as the Great Rift Valley,
Ngorongoro was once a mountain as high as Kilimanjaro. About 3
million years ago, it blew up, covering the Serengeti in ash. The
crater floor sank leaving the rim to form a natural enclosure 2,285
metres high.

 While on a Ngorongoro Safari the most amazing experience is
viewing the crater for the first time. As your vehicle slowly
ascends through mountain forests you will feel it getting colder and
colder. Eventually you reach the rim, and dropping sharply off in
front of you is Ngorongoro Crater.
Ngorongoro
Crater is the best self-contained safari destination in the world.
The world's largest unbroken caldera, it is often referred to as the
'Garden of Eden'. The rich pasture and permanent water of the crater
floor shelters a large population of animals. In fact, the crater
floor is one of the most densely crowded game areas in the world and
is home to about 30,000 animals. The open grassland makes it easy to
police, so it is also a stronghold for endangered species like black
rhino and cheetah. The Ngorongoro Crater is a wildlife haven and, as such, well visited but it is virtually a ‘must’ on any first visit to Tanzania. A breathtaking sight, and an extraordinary place, the unique appeal of the Ngorongoro Crater is the sheer abundance of wildlife permanently resident on the crater floor. Lions stalk the grasslands in search of vulnerable game; flamingos grace the shallow lakes, and yet the Masai still bring their cattle down into the crater to graze alongside huge herds of wildebeest, zebra and buffalo as they always have done.
