Ngorongoro Conservation Area measuring 8,300 square kilometer declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979, is the only place in the earth where mankind and wild animals co-exist in harmony.
The area provides wildlife protection status as well permits human habitation at a time. The uniqueness made the NCA the only area where man, livestock and wild animals all live together in peace.
