The Ngorongoro Conservation Area, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of Tanzania’s most iconic and diverse landscapes. Located in the northern part of the country, this unique conservation area is renowned for its stunning geological features, rich wildlife, and significant archaeological sites. At Dubu Adventures, we invite you to explore the wonders of Ngorongoro with our expertly guided tours.
Ngorongoro Crater: The centerpiece of the conservation area, the Ngorongoro Crater, is the world’s largest inactive, intact, and unfilled volcanic caldera. Formed about two to three million years ago, this natural amphitheater is home to a diverse array of wildlife, including the Big Five (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhinoceros). The crater floor is a haven for game drives, offering an unparalleled opportunity to see a high density of animals in a relatively small area.
Olduvai Gorger: Often referred to as the "Cradle of Mankind," Olduvai Gorge is one of the most important paleoanthropological sites in the world. It has yielded numerous fossils and artifacts that provide insight into early human evolution. Visitors can explore the site and its museum to learn about the discoveries made by famed archaeologists Louis and Mary Leakey.
Empakaai and Olmoti Craters: In addition to the famous Ngorongoro Crater, the conservation area also features other volcanic craters like Empakaai and Olmoti. These lesser-known craters offer beautiful landscapes, hiking opportunities, and sightings of flamingos and other bird species around their crater lakes.
Wildlife Viewing: The Ngorongoro Conservation Area boasts a rich and varied wildlife population. Apart from the Big Five, visitors can see wildebeest, zebras, gazelles, cheetahs, hyenas, and an array of bird species. The area’s diverse habitats, from highland plains to dense forests, support a wide range of flora and fauna.
Maasai Culture: The Ngorongoro Conservation Area is also home to the Maasai people, who live in harmony with the wildlife. Visitors have the unique opportunity to engage with the Maasai, visit their villages, and learn about their traditional way of life, culture, and customs.
Scenic Beauty: The conservation area offers some of the most breathtaking landscapes in Tanzania. From the lush, green highlands and the iconic crater rim to the vast, open plains and dense acacia woodlands, Ngorongoro’s scenic beauty is truly mesmerizing.
