The Ngorongoro Crater, often called the “Eighth Wonder of the World,” is one of Africa’s most breathtaking natural wonders. Located in northern Tanzania, the crater is part of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area — a UNESCO World Heritage Site — that beautifully combines wildlife protection, tourism, and local Maasai culture.
Formed around two million years ago, the crater is a collapsed volcano that now hosts an incredible ecosystem. With a diameter of about 19 kilometers and steep walls rising over 600 meters, it forms a natural enclosure for more than 25,000 large animals. Its fertile grasslands, acacia forests, and soda lakes create a paradise for both animals and visitors.
Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Serengeti spans over 14,700 square kilometers of savannah, riverine forests, and acacia woodlands. It is the heart of the Great Migration, a world-renowned natural phenomenon that sees millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles move across the plains in search of greener pastures.
The Crater Floor: A world of its own, home to lions, elephants, zebras, wildebeests, hippos, and black rhinos. This natural amphitheater offers some of the best wildlife viewing in Africa.
Lake Magadi: A shallow alkaline lake often filled with pink flamingos and other bird species — a dream for photographers and bird lovers.
Lerai Forest: A lush green acacia forest where elephants and baboons can often be spotted resting in the shade.
The Rim Viewpoints: From the crater rim, you’ll enjoy panoramic views that stretch endlessly, especially during sunrise and sunset.
Olduvai Gorge: Located nearby, this archaeological site is known as the “Cradle of Mankind,” where early human fossils were discovered.
