Arusha National Park

ExploreNgorongoro Crater
A UNESCO World Heritage Site and the world's largest unbroken volcanic caldera — 260 square kilometres of crater floor sheltering around 25,000 large animals, including the Big Five and the endangered black rhino.
ExploreOlduvai Gorge
Known as the "Cradle of Mankind", Olduvai Gorge is one of the most important paleoanthropological sites on Earth — where 1.8-million-year-old Homo habilis fossils were discovered by the Leakey family.
