What to See: You can take a walking safari or view birds such as flamingos in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. A popular activity is to visit all three craters Ngorongoro, Olmoti, and Empakai. The main crater itself, had it ever erupted, could have been a mountain as high as Kilimanjaro. The Olmoti crater has beautiful waterfalls, and the Empakai a pristine lake surrounded by stunning forests. This park truly holds natural wonders where Tanzania shows off its true beauty.

Makes this Park Unique: The crater that provides the park with its namesake is the largest unbroken caldera in the world. This massive, deep crater is a true sight to behold and a must-see on your visit. If you are interested in human history, it is worth noting that some of the oldest human remains ever recorded were found right here in the Oldupai Gorge. You can also learn more about the history of the Maasai people at one of two cultural bomas in the area.
