Ngorongoro Crater

This is also where the great wildebeest migration takes place: Over a million wildebeest come to calve in the herd migrations from December to July. But many other animal species also migrate through the fertile land. Others – such as lions, buffalo, zebras and numerous bird species – live here all year round. Last but not least, you may also spot a black rhino. Today, around forty of these animals live here again, since they are fortunately no longer hunted by poachers.

Not far from the Ngorongoro Crater is the famous Olduvai Gorge, one of the most historic places in the world. It is 50 kilometers long and 100 meters deep and is considered “The Cradle of Humankind”.
