Long ago, the Ngorongoro was a volcano as mighty as Mount Kilimanjaro. Today, it’s a lush and peaceful remnant of a huge eruption that may have been seen by our early ancestors in the nearby Olduvai Gorge, where humanity began.
The crater remained undiscovered by outsiders until the 1890s, which is why it’s still so rich with wildlife. The Maasai people, however, knew it well for its abundance and called it El-Nkoronkoro, meaning “Gift of Life.”
