Ngorongoro Highlands

Overview

About Ngorongoro Highlands

The Ngorongoro Highlands are a dramatic volcanic landscape of ancient craters, forested escarpments, and high-altitude grasslands forming the backbone of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. Rising to over 3,000 metres, the highlands include the Empakai Crater, the active Ol Doinyo Lengai volcano, and the forested rim of Ngorongoro Crater, offering extraordinary scenery and walking opportunities rarely experienced on a standard northern circuit safari. The forests shelter elephant, buffalo, and leopard, while clear days reveal views stretching to the Serengeti plains.
