Tips & Advice

The Ngorongoro Conservation Area covers an area across 8,300 sq km, in northern Tanzania.The crater bowl itself is 250 square km with sides up to 600 metres deep.

The crater floor is a host to different terrains that include grassland, swamps, forests and Lake Makat, a central soda lake filled by the Munge river. All these various habitats attract an assortment of wildlife which come to drink, wallow, graze, hide or climb. Although animals are free to move in and out of this contained environment, the rich volcanic soil, lush forests and spring source lakes on the crater floor tend to incline both grazers and predators to remain.

Animals are abundant in the crater and Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most likely areas in Tanzania to see the endangered Black Rhino.All other mammals and predators are abundant and the crater is said to be the most densely packed wildlife concentration in Africa
