Tailor Made Safari Experience
NGORONGORO CRATER
The Ngorongoro Conservation Area
The Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA) in Tanzania, once part of the Serengeti National Park, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site recognized for its exceptional biodiversity, including globally threatened species and the annual Great Migration. It’s also significant for its rich human history, with evidence of human evolution spanning millions of years.
The NCA was established to allow wildlife to coexist with the Maasai people, who traditionally practice semi-nomadic pastoralism. The Serengeti itself is renowned for its dramatic scenery, with vibrant colors and diverse landscapes that shift with the seasons.
BEST TIME TO VISIT
The Ngorongoro Conservation Area offers fantastic wildlife viewing throughout the year. However, the best times to visit depend on your interests.
December to February: Calving season in the Serengeti, with many animals migrating through Ngorongoro.
March to May: The rainy season, which brings lush landscapes and fewer tourists.
June to October: Dry season, with excellent game viewing as animals gather around water sources.
November: The short rains rejuvenate the landscape and bring migratory animals back to the area.
