The smallest place in the world where you will find the Big 6 all together<\/strong><\/p>\n

You go down a steep path until you reach a plain, you turn your head 360\u00ba and you realize that you are inside the caldera of a crater with 600m high walls. And inside you are waiting for the Big 6 of Africa<\/strong>: lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, rhinoceros and hippopotamus. Be careful.<\/p>\n

The Ngorongoro crater is the delimited area of \u200b\u200bleast extension in which it is possible to find the Big 6 Animals.<\/p>\n

The Ngorongoro crater is one of the largest volcanic calderas in the world. It was formed when a gigantic volcan exploded and collapsed two or three million years ago. The caldera is a huge bowl with walls over 600 meters high, covered with forests, and with a flat and fertile soil of about 260 km2. This particular natural world is organized in several ecosystems – forests, savannahs, lakes and marshes, salt ponds, arid lands … -, embedded in an area that does not exceed 20 kilometers in diameter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Ngorongoro<\/strong> was declared a conservation area in 1959 when it was separated from the Serengeti National Park<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The area became a Unesco World Heritage<\/a> Site in 1979. On July 31, 2010, the protection zone was extended to the archaeological remains that have been located inside the park, in the Oldupai Gorge, one of the sites most important places for the investigation of the evolution of the human species, which include traces and remains of the Homo Habilis, being classified as mixed, natural and cultural heritage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
