Ngorongoro Crater

Ngorongoro, walled by the world’s largest unbroken caldera, contains over 30,000 mammals in 100 square miles at the heart of the Maasai conservation and highlands area which extends out to the live volcano of Ol Doinyo Lengai, featured in the Lara Croft movie that starred Angelina Jolie. 

Here is the cradle of humanity, evolution and home of cultural enlightenment, with over 3.5 million year old hominid discoveries at distinctive paleoanthropological sites like Olduvai Gorge and Laetoli, and a rich mixture of tribes and cultures that exists today: Swahili, Afro- Europeans and Afro-Indians, together with over 120 native African tribes from Hadzabe (hunter-gatherers), Datoga to the colorful Maasai, all blended through a history of cattle rearing, farming, hunting, trading, slaving, love and war.
