Ngorongoro Conservation Area

A place of staggering beauty and unmatched wildlife concentration, the Ngorongoro Crater is one of the most iconic safari destinations in Africa. Often called the Eighth Wonder of the World, this ancient volcanic caldera forms a unique ecosystem that supports some of the highest densities of big game on the continent. The crater floor covers about 260 square kilometers and is home to thousands of animals including lions, elephants, buffalo, rhinos, and a wide variety of bird species.

The Ngorongoro Conservation Area around the crater is equally remarkable. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site where wildlife conservation exists alongside Maasai pastoralist communities living in harmony with nature. The area includes many landscapes such as savannas, forests, swamps, and highland plains, offering visitors the chance to experience both incredible wildlife and rich cultural heritage.

At WildMiles Safaris, we take you deep into the heart of this natural wonder. Every turn on the crater floor reveals a new safari surprise from watching a pride of lions resting under the acacia trees to spotting the rare black rhino in the dense forest. Our expert guides make sure you experience the full magic of Ngorongoro with adventure and respect for the land and its people.
