Offering a unique biosphere which has remained virtually unchanged since the dawn of time, Ngorongoro conservation area is UNESCO World
Game Drive
Game drives descend into the Ngorongoro Crater through a lush highland forest, with impressive birdlife to be spotted among the various tree species. Once on the grassy crater floor, you’ll discover a large variety of grazing herbivores, and the predators that are attracted by this abundant supply of prey. The crater has formed its own ecosystem due to its enclosed nature, and is one place where you can certainly tick all the boxes as approximately 30 000 animals live on the crater floor! Depending on which time of the year you visit, you’ll witness flocks of pink flamingo around the shores of the shallow Lake Magadi, while the surrounding swamp is inhabited by hippo. The north of the Crater is where the bulk of the resident game resides thanks to the drier, open grasslands. Prepare your cameras because the spectacles of African nature often happen suddenly.
Highland walk
This 11/2 to 2 hour activity will be guided by an armed ranger. The rugged and beautiful Ngorongoro Highlands offers one of the finest blends of culture, landscapes and wildlife in Tanzania. The best way to experience the highlands is without a doubt on foot. It’s various landscapes consisting of elevated volcanoes and craters, forests and vast grassy plains offers a remarkable experience for those hiking through this area. Hikers will experience first-hand how the Maasai people, who inhabit these highlands and the wildlife, coexist.
