About
Ngorongoro Conservation Area
Rising high above the plains of the Serengeti,
this vast protected area stretches from Lake Natron in the northeast
(the breeding ground for east Africa's flamingoes) to Lake Enaysi
in the south and Lake Manyara in the east. The area includes the
still active volcano Ol Doinyo Lengai (Mountain of God), which last
erupted in 1983. The park's centerpiece is the Ngorongoro Crater,
a collapsed volcano forming a crater that is 610m (2000 ft) deep,
20km (12.5 miles) in diameter, covering an area of 311 sq km (122
sq miles). The crater accounts for just one-tenth of the conservation
area, which is home to almost every species of African plains mammal
(except for the impala, topi and giraffe) and particularly well
known for the endangered black rhino. It also has the densest population
of predators in Africa. The rich birdlife includes flamingoes which
are attracted by the soda content in Lake Magadi on the crater floor.
Day
02 : Ngorongoro
Breakfast and then descend down the steep walls of the caldera for

The Park is a paradise of woodlands and lakes that provide for abundant
wildlife. Gazelle, buffalo, elephants, wildebeest as well as big
cats, particularly the black manned lion, leopards and hyena. A
multitude of birds including flamingos are sighted regularly. Wildly
beautiful as it is, it is not surprising that Ngorongoro crater
has been called a Garden of Eden. Dinner and overnight at Ngorongoro
Serena Lodge / Similar.
