What Makes It Unique?

The Ngorongoro Crater is a spectacular volcanic caldera and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its enclosed ecosystem supports a remarkable concentration of wildlife. The wider conservation area is also unique because wildlife conservation exists alongside Maasai pastoralist communities.

Communities around the Attraction:

Maasai communities live and practise pastoralism within the wider conservation area. Responsible cultural experiences provide opportunities to learn about traditional livelihoods and the relationship between people, livestock and conservation.

Best Time to Visit:

June to October is excellent for wildlife viewing and generally offers favourable road conditions. The green season provides beautiful scenery and fewer visitors.
