Ngorongoro Crater: A Natural Wonder of Tanzania

Nestled in the heart of Tanzania’s Northern Circuit lies one of Africa’s most remarkable natural wonders, the Ngorongoro Crater. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this magnificent caldera is home to some of the world’s most diverse wildlife and stunning landscapes. Elegant Africa Travels™ is proud to offer our guests the opportunity to experience this unique and unforgettable destination.

Located just 180 km west of Arusha, the Ngorongoro Conservation Area is home to the world-renowned Ngorongoro Crater. Created over 2 million years ago, this breathtaking caldera is the largest intact volcanic caldera in the world. The Ngorongoro Crater is a natural amphitheater that spans 20 kilometers in diameter, and its walls rise up to 600 meters above the crater floor. It is home to over 25,000 animals, including the Big Five – lions, elephants, rhinoceros, leopards, and Cape buffaloes – making it one of the best places in Africa for game viewing.

Elegant Africa Travels™ offers a variety of tour packages that allow visitors to explore the Ngorongoro Crater and its surroundings. Our experienced guides will take you on a journey through the diverse landscapes of the crater, from lush forests to expansive grasslands. You’ll have the opportunity to witness some of the most spectacular wildlife sightings, including herds of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles, as well as predators such as lions, cheetahs, and hyenas.

One of the highlights of any Ngorongoro Crater tour is the chance to witness the annual Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest and other herbivores traverse the Serengeti ecosystem in search of greener pastures. Elegant Africa Travels™ offers a range of safari packages that coincide with the migration, giving guests a front-row seat to this incredible natural spectacle.

In addition to game drives, Elegant Africa Travels™ offers other activities to enhance your Ngorongoro Crater experience. You can take a guided nature walk along the crater rim, where you can see the magnificent views of the caldera and the surrounding landscape. You can also visit a traditional Maasai village to learn about the culture and way of life of this fascinating indigenous community.
