Ngorongoro Conservation Area

The Ngorongoro crater is a safari icon worldwide and its reputation is not unjustified. The famous volcanic caldera - an ancient extinct and collapsed volcano - is considered a true Noah's Ark, as it conserves all species in the region. Inactive, intact and dry, the boiler has a maximum diameter of 20 km, an average depth of 600 meters (with respect to the edges of the crater) and is inserted in the vast Ngorongoro Conservation Area.

Highly important part of the Serengeti ecosystem, it is a conservation area based on the principle of multiple land use: it promotes the coexistence of wild animals with the traditional Masai population originally present in the land, stimulating a symbiotic and peaceful life. Inside the crater, human occupation is not allowed. Oldupai Gorge is an important archaeological site located on the edge of the park, a designated UNESCO world heritage site.

Highlights


Safari

Safari is the most iconic of all activities available on the African continent. As a rule, it is the main motivation for anyone traveling to Africa. Safari is a much broader experience than meeting the Big 5: it is a continuous learning with unique sensations, according to each ecosystem and region to be explored. Each safari is unique and cumulative: the knowledge of a previous experience in the savanna becomes a reference for a future journey.
