Ngorongoro at a glance
Wildlife
The Ngorongoro is an intricate self-sustaining ecosystem, that nourishes a booming wildlife population. Home to Big 5, it is one of the best places on earth to see black rhinos in their natural habitat. Birdlife is abundant with over 500 species found in the crater, especially the large congregation of flamingoes in Lake Magadi.
Vegetation
Ngorongoro is a mix of volcanic craters, highlands, and lush plains. The crater is surrounded by steep walls covered in dense forests. The crater floor features grassy plains, swamp lands, and soda lakes. The unique mix and entrapping nature of the landscape make it a haven for huge congregations of wildlife and birds.
THINGS TO DO
Harmony in Co-existence
The Ngorongoro Conservation Area, unlike other National Parks of Tanzania, allows the Indigenous Maasai tribe to stay inside the protected area, fostering a model of coexistence between humans and wildlife.
