L\u2019arriv\u00e9e au crat\u00e8re s\u2019effectue par la cr\u00eate (\u00e0 2 300 m d\u2019altitude) d\u2019o\u00f9 l\u2019on a une vue panoramique grandiose sur cette \u201ccaldeira\u201d de 20 km de diam\u00e8tre, second plus grand crat\u00e8re du monde. Outre la beaut\u00e9 incroyable du paysage, la premi\u00e8re vision depuis les cr\u00eates est magnifique et un safari dans ce lieu exceptionnel est inoubliable.<\/p>\n
Le crat\u00e8re du Ngorongoro est l’un des plus impressionnants spectacles naturels du monde. Cependant le crat\u00e8re ne repr\u00e9sente qu’une infime partie de la zone prot\u00e9g\u00e9e du Ngorongoro qui offre des espaces naturels grandioses. Le \u201cNgorongoro conservation area\u201d d\u2019une superficie de 8 292 km2 a \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9lev\u00e9 au statut de r\u00e9serve internationale de la biosph\u00e8re et appartient au patrimoine mondial de l\u2019Unesco.<\/p>\n
Plus de 25 000 animaux sauvages ont \u00e9lu r\u00e9sidence dans le crat\u00e8re tandis que plus de deux millions d\u2019animaux sauvages vivent sur la zone prot\u00e9g\u00e9e, donnant une impression de paradis terrestre !<\/p>\n
Il est constitu\u00e9 de plusieurs \u00e9cosyt\u00e8mes abritant une faune et une flore tr\u00e8s diff\u00e9rente : le lac Magadi alcalin dont les rives attirent les chacals, les lions et hy\u00e8nes \u00e0 l’affut, la for\u00eat d’acacias de Lera\u00ef o\u00f9 vivent \u00e9lans, \u00e9l\u00e9phants, grivets, damans, francolins, vautours et aigles, le marais de Gorigor, refuge de nombreux oiseaux d’eau…<\/p>\n
Cr\u00e9\u00e9e suite aux \u00e9tudes de la r\u00e9serve Serengeti du docteur Bernard Grzimek et son fils \u00e0 la fin des ann\u00e9es 50, la zone prot\u00e9g\u00e9e du Ngorongoro a \u00e9t\u00e9 une exp\u00e9rience pionni\u00e8re dans le domaine de la pluri-utilisation des terres o\u00f9 le pastoralisme, la protection et le tourisme ont pu coexister.<\/p>\n
Observation : nombreux gnous, z\u00e8bres, lions, gu\u00e9pards, quelques l\u00e9opards mais aussi quelques \u00e9l\u00e9phants, buffles, antilopes, phacoch\u00e8res, kongoni, cobes Defassa, babouins, tr\u00e8s nombreux aigles et oiseaux… C’est l’un des rares endroits o\u00f9 l’on a une chance d’observer un rhinoc\u00e9ros noir en Tanzanie (une vingtaine sont pr\u00e9sents dans le crat\u00e8re gr\u00e2ce aux patrouilles de vigilance contre le braconnage).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
