Ngorongoro Highlands

The Ngorongoro Highlands includes some of Tanzania's most beautiful and game-rich areas. The sheer size of the awe-inspiring landscapes stretching out for miles can take your breath away, and the experience of watching herds of gazelles, prides of lions and even the rare black rhino is quite simply unforgettable.

Of course the most well-known area is the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater, which is a truly unique habitat and provides shelter for a remarkable number of rare and special animals and birds. A safari through the Ngorongoro Crater cannot help but be thrilling and memorable, as you spot lions hunting warthogs, cheetahs racing through the long grass, and hippos wallowing in the mud of the soda lake.

The Ngorongoro Highlands include more than the famed Ngorongoro Crater - they extend down to the border with the Serengeti National Park and stretch from the shore of Lake Eyasi to the south, to the lesser-known Empakaai Crater some 50 miles further north. The area includes a range of habitats, from grassland savannah to thick wet rainforest. Walking safaris can be arranged through the forest, spotting monkeys and numerous indigenous bird species.
