The Ngorongoro Conservation Area spans vast expanses of highland plains, savanna, savanna woodlands and forests. Established in 1959 as a multiple land use area, with wildlife coexisting with semi-nomadic Maasai pastoralists practicing traditional livestock grazing, it includes the spectacular Ngorongoro Crater, the world’s largest caldera. The property has global importance for biodiversity conservation due to the presence of globally threatened species, the density of wildlife inhabiting the area, and the annual migration of wildebeest, zebra, gazelles and other animals into the northern plains. Extensive archaeological research has also yielded a long sequence of evidence of human evolution and human-environment dynamics, including early hominid footprints dating back 3.6 million years.
恩戈罗恩戈罗自然保护区
巨大完整的恩戈罗恩戈罗火山口是野生动物出没的地方，附近是注满了深水的恩帕卡艾火山口和盖伦活火山。在距此不远的奥杜瓦伊山谷的挖掘工作中，发现了人类的远祖之一哈比利斯人的遗址，Laitoli遗址也在该区域内，它也是360多万年前原始人类活动的主要区域之一。
