NGORONGORO
Ngorongoro Crater and Conservation Area, the Best Tourist Attraction in Tanzania.
Ever dreamed of taking an African adventure safari? Observing wildlife in a natural environment in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area in northern Tanzania is an eco-conscious, Mother-Earth approved African luxury safari trip.
Expect the unexpected – like wildebeest and hippos – and be as active as you like on a luxury safari trip to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area located in the very heart of the Serengeti region. According to the website about the Ngorogoro, this region is considered to be the “eight wonder of the world”. (Ngorongoro Conservation Area)
Tourism is critical to the region, and there is much to see and do for visitors. The Ngorongoro Conservation Area and the Serengeti Natural Park in Tanzania is home to the world’s largest density of free ranging game. Stimulate your senses by viewing gazelle and zebra in their native habitat. Their enemies, like lions, cheetahs, leopards, and hyenas also live here. Lurking overhead are flying predators like vultures.
There is a variety of accommodation options available for the traveler to Ngorogoro. Choose from rustic off-the-beaten path shelters, simple lodges, or luxury safari tents and camps. Make Grumeti River camp your base camp and see more outdoor life like crocodiles, buffaloes, and rhinos. Grumeti River Camp is nearby Lake Victoria, the world’s second largest lake, and these species frequent the lake area.
Dining al fresco at dusk in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area is an experience you will long remember. The night is alive with a symphony of music from owls, monkeys, insects, and other nocturnal residents of this African veldt. These are sounds you won’t hear on average camping trips.
Take to the trails and enjoy a foot safari to see the wonders of this popular tourist site up close and personal. Have you ever seen an active volcano? Oldonyo Lengai is still active, and you can climb to the top for an amazing view. Other must-see craters are Olmoti, and Empakaai. Ngorongoro Crater is the number one tourist attraction of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and is the “single most visited site”. (Ngorongoro Crater, Africa) Be on the lookout for Ngorongoro Crater wildlife like antelope and lions.
The Ngorongoro Conservation Area of the Serengeti has archaeological sites dating to pre-and proto-history. Ngorongoro Crater is from the proto-history era, Olduvai Gorge and Laetoli are pre-historic sites, and Nasera Rock dates from 30,000 BC. Hominid remains were found at Oldupai Gorge.
So, why would you choose to vacation on Tanzania safari in Africa? There are few areas left in the world that offer the wealth of history, and population of native wildlife, like the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. This area is steeped in ethnic cultures and traditions.
Three of the world’s largest animals live here: giraffes, rhinoceros, and elephants. (Lesson Three Resource). Seeing one of these mammoth creatures in their home is a one-in-lifetime experience.
