Ngorongoro Conservation Area
The Ngorongoro Conservation Area is a UNESCO World Heritage Site located in Tanzania. It is famous for the Ngorongoro Crater, the world's largest inactive volcanic caldera, which is home to diverse wildlife, including elephants, lions, and rhinos. The area is also significant for its rich archaeological sites, such as Olduvai Gorge, where early human fossils have been discovered.
Established in 1959, the conservation area aims to balance wildlife conservation with the needs of the local Maasai people, who have lived in the region for centuries. Visitors can enjoy breathtaking landscapes, unique ecosystems, and opportunities for wildlife viewing, making it a popular destination for tourists.
