Ngorongoro Crater Area
A playground where you can enjoy game drives
Home » Destinations » Tanzania »
The world-famous Ngorongoro Crater Area is located in northwest Tanzania, on the eastern edge of the Serengeti, just west of Arusha. The region, which has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its awe-inspiring natural wonders, encompasses 102 square miles of pristine African wilderness, including the crowning jewel of Ngorongoro Crater.
This is the world’s largest un-flooded volcanic caldera, formed approximately two to three million years ago when a volcano exploded and collapsed into itself, creating a 2,000-foot-deep depression. The blue-green vistas from its unbroken walls are as dramatic as they come, but the real magic happens when you venture inside its borders into one of the world’s most untouched wildlife sanctuaries.
