Crater Ngorongoro

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.

Savannahs Grasslands

&

1.2 million wildebeest, accompanied by some 200,000 zebra and Thompson’s gazelles, travel through the Serengeti, tracking pockets of rainfall and grazing on about 4,500 tons of grass Eevery day. It’s an incredible number which simply justifies the need for the open savannahs and endless grasslands of Serengeti.

M aasai culture is centred around the belief that Enga (God in Maa language) created cattle especially for them, & they’re the custodians of all the world’s cattle. For Maasai, life revolves around grazing large herds of cows, sheeps and goats. That said, their livelihood is heavily dependent on nature and climate. They have respected and nurtured the land’s sustainably for thousands of years by migrating, in order to allow the grass to regenerate and are known to be in perfect harmony with nature.
