Ngorongoro Conservation Center

Want to see the Big 5 in one day? Head to the Ngorongoro Crater along the Eastern Great Rift Valley.

Formed millions of years ago, the extinct volcanic caldera is one of Tanzania’s best safari destinations. The crater walls are 400 to 600 meters high and have created a unique environment for flora and fauna to thrive with little human intervention.

Here you’ll find the endangered black rhino, predators, and almost every other animal you would want to see on a game drive.
