Ngoronogoro Crater
Ngorongoro Crater, one of the world’s largest unbroken calderas, is the most prominent feature of the park. Also located there are the major archaeological sites of Olduvai Gorge and Laetolil, within which were found hominin remains dating from 2.1 million and 3.6 million years ago, respectively. Ngorongoro Conservation Area is host to the largest ungulate herds in the world, including gnu (wildebeests), plains zebras, and Thomson’s and Grant’s gazelles. Predatory animals include lions, spotted hyenas and leopards which are only found on the crater rim. The endangered black rhinoceros can also be found in the crater. The highlight of your trip to Ngorongoro would be a visit to the viewpoint to capture a safari portrait for lifetime memory.
