Rich with HistoryTeeming with Wildlife
The lush, mineral-rich caldera attracts ungulates such as wildebeest, gazelle, zebra, waterbuck, and eland, and it’s one of the few places to see Africa’s Big Five in one day. The area hosts some of Africa’s largest elephants and active lion populations. Beyond the crater, Olduvai Gorge stands as a significant prehistoric site, with fossils discovered by Louis and Mary Leakey dating back nearly two million years. The Ngorongoro Conservation Area offers unparalleled access to both wildlife and ancient human history.
