Ngorongoro Crater
The Ngorongoro Conservation Area (809,440 ha) spans vast
expanses of highland plains, savanna woodlands and forests, from the plains of
the Serengeti National Park in the north-west, to the eastern arm of the Great
Rift Valley.
The area was established in 1959 as a multiple land use, with wildlife coexisting with semi-nomadic Maasai pastoralists practicing traditional livestock grazing. It includes the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater, the world largest caldera, and Olduvai Gorge, a 14km long deep ravine.
The property has global importance for biodiversity conservation in view of the presence of globally threatened species such as the black Rhino, the density of wildlife inhabiting the Ngorongoro Crater and surrounding areas throughout the year, and the annual migration of wildebeest, zebra, Thompson and Grants gazelles and other ungulates into the northern plains.

Definitely one of the most beautiful places I have ever been in my life!
