The Ngorongoro crater

Published on 14 August 2026 at 20:18

The Ngorongoro is a volcano comparable in size to Kilimanjaro (5895m). Both mountain peaks proudly tower over the vast, wildlife-rich savanna plains. This was the reality until the Ngorongoro volcano erupted around 2.5 million years ago, transforming into a gigantic caldera. Today, it is even the largest intact caldera in the world! The breathtakingly beautiful Ngorongoro Crater stands out in almost every safari through northern Tanzania due to its high concentrations of wildlife. The Ngorongoro Crater has the highest wildlife density per square meter in Africa.Finally, the fertile and mineral-rich soil on the crater floor is highly favored by the local Maasai, who graze their livestock there. During a jeep safari in the crater, you not only enjoy the highest density of wildlife in Africa, but you also capture stunning photos of passing Maasai people on their way with their goats and cows.

Experience for yourself with all your senses why the crater has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage site!

The Sound of Ngorongoro

Before it was seen,

it was heard.

A breath across the plains.

A rhythm beneath the earth.

A call shaped by Maasai songs,

Datoga echoes,

and Hadzabe voices carried through time.

When you hear it,

Ngorongoro is calling.

The wonders are calling.

Enjoy the Sound of Wonders.
