The Ngorongoro Conservation Area is a biologically diverse region in Tanzania, home to the world famous Mount Kilimanjaro. The region is said to have one of the most unique ecosystems on Earth, with a rich volcanic landscape containing mountains, lakes, rivers forests and archaeological sites. Ngorongoro is an internationally renowned tourist destination because it has the Ngorongoro Crater, the world’s largest intact caldera.
Ngorongoro has two seasons: the dry spell from June to October and the wet season from November to May; July is the coldest month.
The region is inhabited by approximately 42,000 people of the nomadic Maasai tribe. Typically, tourists stay at lodges which overlook the crater, such as the Ngorongoro Crater Lodge which is designed in traditional Maasai architecture.
