This is the world’s largest caldera, filled with expansive grasslands, lush forests, and sprawling swamps, presenting a mesmerizing landscape of unparalleled beauty. The crater floor’s perennial water sources sustain a resident population of over 25,000 large mammals, making it a prime destination for safaris in Tanzania. Lions, waterbucks, hippos, baboons, black rhinos, leopards, hyenas, jackals, buffaloes, warthogs, gazelles, and numerous other species find refuge within this sanctuary. The Maasai people coexist harmoniously with the wildlife, grazing their cattle in this designated conservation area since 1956 and a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1978. This unique cohabitation of man and beast renders Ngorongoro unparalleled in the world. The distance from Moshi is 260km, and from Arusha, it’s 190km.
