Ngorongoro conservation area covers over 5149 sq miles and one of the most spectacular sights you are ever likely to see while on safari lies in the Ngorongoro Crater. The crater is a microcosm of the East African savannah and a natural wonder unique in the world. Upon descent to the crater floor you are treated to a magical experience where herds of zebra rub shoulders with wildebeest, gazelle and buffalo. The crater provides a great chance of seeing some of Africa’s biggest bull elephants and many predators among a myriad of other animals.

Olduvai Gorge is famous for its fossil finds - about 150 species of prehistoric mammals including the Dr. Leakey's discovery of 400 fragments of a skull. A  small museum dsiplays a number of copies of the finds. Olduvai gains its name from the Masai word for the wild sisal that is prolific here.
