Ngorongoro Conservation Area

Ngorongoro  has been referred to as the “Garden of Eden” or the "Eighth Wonder of the World". 

The Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most beautiful features in Africa.  Maasai pastoralists coexist with resident game and do limited farming.  Its circular wall which rises into six Mountains over 3,000 meters high, started as a huge active volcano. Eight million years ago when the volcano erupted, its cone collapsed leaving a caldera about 610 metres deep, 20kms across and about 300 sq kms in area.

Safaris

It is a haven for Wildlife, with herds of Wildebeest, Zebras, Buffaloes, Elephants, Lions, Hyenas… all sharing the spoils of the area.  There are over 550 bird species and the fluttering flamingoes account for the pink shimmer on the lake below.

Lodges

Perched on the edge of the Crater rim, The Ngorongoro Crater Lodge, Ngorongoro Serena Lodge, Ngorongoro Sopa Lodge and Ngorongoro Wildlife Lodge all offer unhindered views of the breathtaking spectacle below.   The lodges boast African design complimented by graceful antiques.  Savour a perfect meal at the restaurant overlooking the Crater or a picnic lunch or sundowner in the Crater. Either way, it’s an experience you won’t ever forget.

Ndutu is located within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, but is also right on the doorstep of the vast Serengeti National Park. This area is famous for the wildebeest calving during the months of December to March.  It becomes “alive” during the Migration because it is surrounded by the Ndutu woodlands and the Short Grass plains, which provide ample cover and food.

A few seasonal camps offer a superb base from which to explore the range of habitats that lie within easy reach.
