The Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s largest inactive and intact caldera, created between two and three million years ago. A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979, the Ngorongoro Conservation area in Northern Tanzania is a truly spectacular place to visit. Home to the ‘Big Five’ (elephant, buffalo, lion, leopard and rhino) not to mention the herds of wildebeests crossing the crater during their annual migration, the Ngorongoro Crater offers visitors a once in a lifetime opportunity to experience for themselves the vast landscape that covers over 8,000km and observe the famous Maasai tribe, who have been grazing their livestock on this land for thousands of years and are the only indigenous people permitted to live in the conservation area.
