Ngorongoro Crater
N gorongoro is the world’s largest inactive, unbroken
and unfilled volcanic caldera (~12 miles in diameter) , formed when a large volcano erupted & collapsed on itself approximately 2.5 million years ago. In addition to an incredible amount of wildlife, Olduvai Gorge is located in the Conservation Area and is one of the most important prehistoric sites in the world. This was the location for a major archaeological discovery of fossils in the 1950s that are said to be the earliest known evidence of the human species, & hugely furthered our understanding of evolution.
