Serengeti shall never Die

The Ngorongoro Conservation Area is located between the Serengeti and Lake Manyara within Tanzania's famed Northern Safari Circuit. It is home to the famous volcanic Ngorongoro Crater, which is the largest unbroken caldera in the world. The Crater (610 metres deep and 260 km squared) is a microcosm of Tanzania's safari scenery, big game viewing and the world famous flamingos in Ngorongoro.

Ngorongoro, an 8,300 sq km stretch that boasts a wonderful blend of landscape, wildlife, people and archaeological sites.  With magical setting and abundant wildlife, the Ngorongoro crater is a spectacle to behold.

 There are more than 30,000 animals and 350 bird species.  Lions, black rhinos, wild beasts, elephants, hyenas and jackals comb the wild as hippos and pink flamingoes take the pride of place in the countless parks and small lakes.  On the floor of the crater more than 100 bird species reside and hippos graze gracefully around the soda lake.  The visit cannot be complete without a visit to the grave of Michael Grzimck whose plane crashed in the crater in January 1959.  On the fateful day, Michael had been flying alone when he struck a vulture in mid flight With the ailerons and flaps jammed, the plane went into a dive. He was buried on the lip of the crater.  The epitaph on his gravestone reads “11.4.1934 to 10.1.1959 "He gave all he possessed for the wild animals of Africa, including his life."
