Nestled in northern Tanzania, the Ngorongoro Crater is a breathtaking natural wonder. This iconic caldera forms a key part of the vast Serengeti ecosystem, stretching towards the legendary Serengeti plains to the northwest. To the east, the landscape is framed by the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro and the bustling safari hubs of Arusha and Moshi.

The Crater’s modern history as a protected area began in the 1950s, spurred by the groundbreaking ecological work of Dr. Bernhard Grzimek and his son. Their research led to the establishment of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA) in 1959, a pioneering model of “multiple land use.” Under the management of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority, this unique agreement allows for the coexistence of wildlife conservation, sustainable tourism, and traditional Maasai pastoralism.

Highlights

  • Game Drive in the Crater Floor: Descend 2,000 feet into the crater for an unforgettable game drive on the fertile plains. Witness one of the highest densities of predators in Africa, including lions, cheetahs, and hyenas, alongside iconic herbivores like elephants, buffalos, and the rare black rhino.
  • See the Big Five: Ngorongoro Crater is one of the few places where you have an excellent chance of seeing all five of Africa's most famous animals—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and black rhinoceros—in one single, spectacular location.
  • Picnic at the Hippo Pool: Enjoy a scenic picnic lunch alongside the vibrant hippo pools, where these massive animals wallow and socialize, surrounded by a stunning 360-degree crater backdrop.
