Ngorongoro Conservation Area is an amazing and beautiful UNESCO World Heritage Site in Tanzania. The Area consists of two main components: Ngorongoro Crater, and Oldupai Gorge (or Olduvai Gorge), both of which are interesting for their own reasons. The Ngorongoro Crater World Heritage Site is just incredible, with animals everywhere and beautiful African scenery as well. Oldupai Gorge is the spot where some of the oldest hominid fossils have been found, and it's a crucial site in modern paleontology and anthropology. Let's have a closer look!
