Wildlife
History
Ngorongoro was designated a conservation area in the mid-20th century and combines wildlife protection with Maasai pastoral land use; the crater itself is the result of a volcanic collapse millions of years ago.
Conservation
The Ngorongoro Conservation Area balances tourism with pastoral rights; follow established routes and guides’ instructions to minimize disturbance and support the park’s conservation goals.
