Photos of Ngorongoro Conservation Area

Ngorongoro is a volcano in northern Tanzania. It has stopped erupting for at least 250,000 years, and it has been around for about 2.5 million years, and was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1979. Ngorongoro National Park is located in the crater area. It is one of the most important wildlife reserves in Africa. There are 25,000 to 30,000 animals living at the bottom of the crater. In addition to zebras, gazelles, gorals, leopards, jackals and wildebeests, there are also large numbers of black rhinos. There are many springs and a large blue lagoon. They don't completely dry out even when it's very hot.
