NGORONGORO CONSERVATION AREA
Overview
Ngorongoro Conservation Area
Ngorongoro Conservation Area, created by a giant volcano millions of years ago, transports it’s visitors back hundreds of years as they gaze upon the Maasai tribe living and farming alongside the wild animals. Together with Serengeti National Park and other areas adjoining the Serengeti ecosystem, Ngorongoro supports the greatest concentration of wildlife left on the earth. The famous Serengeti Plains are shared by the NCA and Serengeti National Park. The Ngorongoro Crater itself, and its magnificent Lake Magadi, is home to 25,000 wild animals including the “BIG FIVE”. From June through October the plains are dry, bare and dusty. Lacking surface water, it supports only a few herds of non-migratory wildlife, but in the rainy season, normally in November through May, the plains turn lush and green. From their dry season range in the North and West Serengeti millions of animals flood into this rich pasture. They include wildebeests, zebras, gazelle and elands, along with their predators and other scavengers. Grasshoppers and dung beetles attract countless migratory birds.

The trip from Arusha to Ngorongoro is a long one, but you’ll be grateful for the early start and late finish as you’re taking in the conservation area’s stunning views and diverse wildlife.
You’ll enjoy a half day game drive through the Ngorongoro Conservation Area: the best place in the northern circuit to see the enigmatic black rhinoceros. Within the park you’ll also spot roaming prides of lions, large packs of hyenas, wallowing hippopotamus, great herds of wildebeest, stoic cape buffalo, brightly coloured flamingoes, and more. Ngorongoro truly is one of the most spectacular safari experiences out there!
