Ngorongoro The Ngorongoro Conservation Area is an inspiring example of sustained coexistence of wildlife and traditional cultures. With an altitude ranging from 4,500-12,000 ft., the area embraces extensive plains, volcanic mountains and craters, and a rain forest. The 5,470 sq. The terrain varies from treeless plains to savannas dotted with flat-topped acacia trees. Rock outcrops blend with riverine bush, thick scrub, and forest in the north.
Lions are abundant.
The Serengeti supports over one million animals of 35 species. In May or June, the wildebeest and zebra assemble on the central plains and move westward. This army of animals, seven to ten abreast, sometimes miles long, marches towards the permanent waters in the western corridor. The plains may have virtually no animals from early August through October. Tribal Culture Trips Combine your safari with an intimate experience of contemporary Tanzanian tribal cultures.
