Crater Highlands in Tanzania
CRATER HIGHLANDS
The Ngorongoro Crater and the Ngorongoro Conservation Area are without a doubt some of the most beautiful parts of Tanzania steeped in history and teeming with wildlife. Beside vehicle safaris hiking treks through the Ngorongoro Highlands are becoming increasingly popular options. Many cultural tours are offered.
Northern Highland Forest Reserve
The Forest Reserve extends in a wide band along the outer southern and eastern slopes of the NCA. It is a montane - not rain - forest and is a vital source of water for the wildlife and people of the NCA, as well as farmland to the south. The forest is home to elephant, buffalo, the elusive leopard and many birds. Visitors approaching Ngorongoro by the usual southern rout will pass through part the forest before arriving at the Crater rim where a viewpoint provides a stunning view of the caldera.
