The Ngorongoro Crater
is a National Heritage Site that is believed to have been formed around 2.5 million years ago as a result of a massive volcanic eruption that led to the collapse of the volcano - forming this stunning caldera (crater). Originally this volcano was taller that Mt. Kilimanjaro, now Africa’s highest mountain .
Once you arrive and witness this stunning view from the top of the crater, you know this is a very special place. A 2,000 ft drive to the bottom will bring you into a eco system of its own making. Hundreds of animals, birds and aquatic life live in a unique symbiotic environment - so beautiful. The game drive through numerous dirt roads - will be one of your most memorable. This is a don’t miss Safari stop on your itinerary.
