General
Don’t break the bank. Take a 3 day Ngorongoro budget safari to the world’s largest intact caldera.
plays host to some of the largest tusker elephants left in Africa today as well as the Big Five, wildebeests, buffaloes, zebras, serval cats, flamingoes, and over 400 bird species.
This crater is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and conservation area and over 25,00 large mammals are known to be residing within its walls.
