Ngorongoro formed when a massive volcano collapsed roughly two to three million years ago; the crater’s natural enclosure has conserved high wildlife densities for generations.
Conservation
The area balances tourism with Maasai pastoralism and conservation; stick to designated tracks and support operators who contribute to community and anti-poaching efforts.
