The Ngorongoro Crater - this magnificent volcanic arena in the northern part of Tanzania - is populated by a most spectacular microcosm of African wildlife. As the visitor will find out on his safari down to the crater floor, this vast caldera, as geologists call it, is filled with a stunning array of life. The Big Five are there – elephants, rhinos, buffaloes, lions and leopards – as well as a multitude of other species that invite personal discovery by the individual traveler. The Crater is particularly famous for its black rhinos and its black-maned lions. It is part of the much bigger Ngorongoro Conservation Area (8300 sq km), which was established 50 years ago as a pioneering experiment in multiple land-use. To mark this great and very special occasion the longest wildlife show on the Internet has been placed on this website. But like all images it can only be a reflection on the colorful people and the fabulous animals of the NCA. For the real experience you better bring yourself. You could still join the spirit of the Golden Jubilee.
