Birdlife
in Ngorongoro
Birding is excellent in the Ngorongoro Crater and large
flocks of flamingos inhabit Lake Magadi (the large soda
lake in the south central area) giving its watery edges
a pinkish tinge when seen from a distance. A variety of
wonderful water birds can be found in the Mandusi Swamp
area.
The grasslands that cover most of the crater floor serve
as a playground for some striking ground birds. The
world's heaviest flying bird - the kori bustard - flies
somewhat ungraciously over the grasslands much to the
dismay of local ostriches, who are simply to large to
fly.
Crowned cranes, migrant storks, and the rosy throated
long claw are sure to set birders hearts aflutter. The
augur buzzard and the Egyptian vulture are the two most
impressive and visible birds of prey, catching the
thermals above the Ngorongoro Crater floor. |

Ngorongoro Conservation Area
The Ngorongoro
Conservation area borders the Serengeti in northern Tanzania and
includes the world's largest crater which acts as a natural
enclosure for almost every species of wildlife found in East Africa.
This includes the very rare black rhino. The Ngorongoro Crater is
where you'll witness some of the densest population of wildlife in
the world and it's a truly amazing place for photographers. The
Maasai still live within the conservation area, and it's also home
to Olduvai where some of man's earliest remains have been found |
