Ngorongoro Crater
Ngorongoro Crater
Commencing our day with an early morning game drive, we set out for the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Distinguished by its unique status as a Conservation Area rather than a National Park, Ngorongoro is a harmonious blend of wildlife preservation and the traditional grazing practices of the local Masai people and their cattle.
As we traverse through Ngorongoro, glimpses of the Masai way of life unfold. Pausing at the entrance gate, an opportunity arises to delve into the captivating details of this volcanic landscape. Our journey then takes us along the rim of the Crater itself, offering a vantage point to observe herds of wildebeest or buffalo below.
Descending into the crater, we discover a natural sanctuary formed by its walls, providing a haven for a rich variety of animals. Expect captivating encounters with lions, elephants, buffalo, rhinos, and, if luck is on our side, the elusive leopard.
