Embark on a remarkable journey with Safaris Africa United as we invite you to explore the awe-inspiring Ngorongoro Crater rim on foot. This unique experience offers an exhilarating perspective of one of Tanzania’s most iconic landscapes, nestled within the UNESCO-listed Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
As the largest intact caldera globally, spanning approximately 19 kilometers in diameter and plunging over 600 meters deep, the Ngorongoro Crater is a sanctuary for an array of wildlife, including the famed Big Five, cheetahs, hyenas, wildebeests, zebras, and diverse antelope species.
While traditional game drives are popular for exploring the crater floor, our walking safari provides a refreshing alternative, allowing you to marvel at the crater’s magnificence from above. Guided by experienced naturalists, our small-group walks commence from the lodge or campsite within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
Meander through verdant forests and expansive grasslands as our knowledgeable guides share insights into the local flora, fauna, and geological marvels of the crater. Along the rim, panoramic vistas reveal the crater’s vast expanse and the bustling wildlife below.
Delight in the diverse avian population inhabiting the area, including secretary birds, Kori bustards, and vibrant flamingos adorning the soda lakes, creating a spectacle for bird enthusiasts.
Encounters with Maasai herdsmen and their cattle offer glimpses into the traditional lifestyle harmoniously intertwined with the wildlife-rich ecosystem. For centuries, the Maasai people have coexisted with nature, nurturing a profound connection to the land and its inhabitants.
Our walking safaris on the rim prioritize appreciation of the scenery and ecosystem insights, ensuring a memorable and enriching experience. As a protected area, stringent conservation measures safeguard the Ngorongoro Crater’s ecological integrity and the well-being of both visitors and wildlife.
