Africa’s Garden of Eden

Step into the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera — the breathtaking Ngorongoro Crater, a natural wonder and one of Africa’s most iconic safari destinations. At Serengeti Precious Safaris, we invite you to explore this unique ecosystem where wildlife thrives against a dramatic backdrop of crater walls, lush grasslands, and shimmering lakes.

Formed over 2 million years ago, the Ngorongoro Crater spans about 260 square kilometers and is home to around 30,000 resident animals, offering some of the best year-round game viewing in Africa. It’s one of the few places where you can spot the Big Five — lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and the critically endangered black rhino — all within a single day’s drive.

The crater floor features diverse habitats, including open savanna, acacia forests, swamps, and Lake Magadi, a soda lake often visited by flocks of flamingos. This unique blend of environments supports a wide variety of species such as hippos, hyenas, jackals, warthogs, and hundreds of bird species.
