Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzanian Tourist Place as Beautiful as Tanzanite
Tanzania is not only known as a producer of Tanzanite, a gemstone that is super expensive. There are also beautiful tourist attractions
Tanzania is a country in East Africa which is becoming increasingly popular as a safari tourist destination in the world.
The country of birth of Queen vocalist Freddy Mercury is bordered by Kenya and Uganda to the north; Rwanda, Burundi and the Congo to the west; Zambia, Malawi and Mozambique in the south. Tanzania has the highest mountain in Africa, namely Mount Kilimanjaro, the plains or the widest plains of the Serengeti, and the world's most beautiful caldera.
Ngorongoro Crater and the 'Big Five' wildlife population are the largest in Africa, making Tanzania one of the must-visit countries.
The name Ngorongoro itself, is said to have come from the sound that comes from the cow bells used by the Maasai people to call their livestock, "Ngoro Ngoro!"
Ngorongoro National Park is the world's eighth natural wonder. The walls are as high as 600 meters with the bottom of the crater that spreads along 102 square kilometers as if to form a giant cauldron.
The crater, which was formed by volcanic eruptions millions of years ago, is inhabited by nearly every native wildlife species that migrated to East Africa, including the rare black rhino.
Traveling to the bottom of the crater is a pleasure in itself. For about an hour's journey down the crater, you will be presented with natural views that you may have never seen before.
Evergreen shrubs with towering old trees, herds of Thomson's Gazelles and zebras flock to the outskirts of this vast savanna.
You will pass through the villages of the Maasai tribe which is located close to a natural lake in the middle of the savanna, the Maasai tribe lives in beautiful peace among the noise of the animals around them.
A trip to the bottom of the crater known as the “Safari Game Drive” will present you with liars of natural scenery.
In addition to zebras, the animals that live in the Ngorongoro crater include African Buffalo, Black Rhinoceros, Hippopotamus, Elephant, Eland and Waterbuck (antelope species), there are also carnivores such as lions, cheetahs, and leopards, but the last two species are very difficult to identify. seen.
The largest large animals in Ngorongoro Crater are Blue Wildebeest, Zebra and Thomson's Gazelle.
Today, Ngorongoro Crater is home to over thousands of animals. Ngorongoro Crater was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1978, for having the largest concentration of wildlife in the world.
There are also herds of bull elephants with very large tusks, due to the mineral content of the volcanic soil and grass. These elephants are enormous, they are probably the biggest elephants you will ever see.
