Today we make our way to the iconic Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The Ngorongoro Crater, located in northern Tanzania, is one of the most extraordinary natural wonders in Africa. It is the world's largest inactive, intact, and unfilled volcanic caldera, formed about 2 to 3 million years ago when a large volcano exploded and collapsed. The crater is the world’s largest intact crater, covering an area of 304 square kilometers and is part of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
We will settle in at Ngorongoro Serena Lodge, nestled high above the plains into the Crater’s jagged rim, cloaked in river stone and indigenous vines, Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge is barely visible to the naked eye. Framed by arched stone passages and timbered decks, its torch-lit walls are adorned with stylized cave paintings. At the stone heart of the lodge burns a glowing fire, which is kept constantly alight. Rooms are looped around the Crater rim. Each has its own rock- enclosed balcony, and all enjoy completely uninterrupted views of the volcanic amphitheater far below. Our Ngorongoro hotel lodge is a place that feels as ancient as the Crater itself, yet no modern comfort has been spared to bring you the best safari adventure in Africa and one of the most unique travel experiences in the world.
Today we will have an early start to get into the Ngorongoro Crater to catch all the wildlife in action!
Renowned for its breathtaking landscapes and diverse wildlife, the crater floor grasslands, bodies of water & woodlands are all a haven for wildlife, including the largest predator population in Africa.
Often referred to as "Africa’s Eden," Ngorongoro Crater is home to a dense concentration of wildlife, including the Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino. Other animals commonly spotted include zebras, wildebeests, hyenas, and a variety of antelope species. The crater is one of the best places in East Africa to see black rhinos in their natural habitat.
Cultural Significance: The Ngorongoro Conservation Area is also home to the Maasai people, who live in harmony with the wildlife. The Maasai herders are permitted to graze their cattle on the crater floor, maintaining a centuries-old tradition.
Conservation: The Ngorongoro Crater is a protected area and plays a crucial role in wildlife conservation efforts. It is closely monitored to ensure sustainable tourism and the preservation of its delicate ecosystem.
Later today, our guides will find us a perfect spot for a picnic lunch in the crater to watch over the landscape.
