In the Ngorongoro Conservation Area there are many places where you can see different things such as mountains, wildlife, rocks as [url=http://www.ennenne.it]moncler outlet[/url] well as lakes. In Ngorongoro Conservation Area there are five mainly craters which are ; Ngorongoro crater, Olmoti crater, Empakaai crater, Losirua and Lolmalasin crater.
Ngorongoro crater is 2440m above sea level and its peak on the south-eastern side and the floor lies between 1830 m in the north -east to 1700m at the lake magadi. From the south-western rim you can see a panoramic view of the highlands, the rim of the crater is stands 610m above the floor and it cover an area of about 304sq km. Ngorongoro crater is the largest inactive, unbroken, unflooded caldera in the world. The crater is slightly elliptical shape, it is approximately to about 21km along its east -west axis and 18km along the north-south axis. Along the rim of Ngorongoro crater the abundant vegetation is very striking, the most public trees are the tall, [url=http://baoming.edu-hb.com/a/zonghexinwen/2011/0919/1.html]giuseppe zanotti Local Government Politics - How t[/url] straight-stemmed pillar woods(cassipouresa malosana), the fluted-stemmed Nuxias [url=http://www.tesangay.com/barbour.php]barbour online shop[/url] (Nuxia floribunda), the layered-canopied, compound -leaved Albizia (Albizia gummifera) and the grey-stemmed, heart-leaved croton (croton megalocarpus), lichen to the trees belong to the genus Usnea.

Another crater which found in the NCA [url=http://www.nitafrymeece.com/louboutin/]chaussures louboutin pas cher[/url] is Olmoti crater which are located on the northern side of the Ngorongoro crater . This crater is the major water catchment part in Ngorongoro Highlands, the vegetation and the soil act as the sponge , absorbing and filtering the water, thus making it fresh. The filtered water drops over a weakness in the crater wall, forming the beautiful waterfall of about 100m high. Through the Munge river the fresh water is [url=http://www.accrh.fr]doudoune moncler pas cher[/url] transported [url=http://www.riad-marrakesh.fr]www.riad-marrakesh.fr[/url] into the Mandusi Swamp and directly to the Lake Magadi inside the Ngorongoro carter. Olmoti is very important water source for the livestock and the residents of Nainokanoka village. The crater is almost about 3000m high but the summit of Olmoti is 3080m and it has the diameter of 6,5km.
The road from Olmoti to Empakaai it is about 25km and it passes to the Embulbul depression which has the horizontal floor of about 2320m, be in mind that this road become very muddy during the rainy seasons, to your right side you will see what looks like large mountain, it [url=http://www.fayatindia.com/giuseppe-zanotti.html]giuseppe zanotti[/url] in fact the two highest emerge crater in the Ngorongoro Highlands which are Losirua and Lolmalasin.

Empakaai crater is the most beautiful place in the entire NCA, so it very stimulated due to the unimaginable scenery. The elevation on the western rim is 3200m above sea level while that of the eastern rim is about 2590m above sea level. The horizontal elevation is about 2200m, the escarpment rise about 300m high above the crater floor and the crater has the diameter of 8km with the circumference of 32km. At the eastern of the rim there is some camps where you can spend and leave the [url=http://www.muvilav.it]woolrich outlet[/url] car and taking the guide to walking [url=http://www.jeremyparendt.com/Barbour-Paris.php]barbour france paris[/url] down to the lake.

''Oldoinyo Lengai'' this is the Maasai word which means ''Mountain of God'' they named because of the religion significance [url=http://www.lotogame.fr/louboutin-pas-cher/]louboutin[/url] of the society live there, up today the people are still climb up to the crater and pray. This mountain is the active volcano, it erupted in 1966 and repeated again in 1983, this mountain is located on the floor of the rift valley and rising 1830m.
From the Malambo road you can view clear the Gol Mountains, the area of the east of the Gol mountain and part of the mountain droop down between 900m and 1800m, this is because of the large fracture developed in the earth's crust about 20million year ago on the mountain there is the beautiful scenery which is caused by formation of the valley and softness of the mountain, the [url=http://www.accrh.fr]doudoune moncler[/url] is due to erosion which occurred past years.
Olkarien Gorge is the very important because it is the critical nesting site of the Rueppell's Griffon Vulture. To reach there turn right of about 24km from Ngorongoro crater entrance gate onto Malambo road and 7km before reach to Olduvai Gorge turn-off, one can crossed two gorge before reaching to the Gol mountain range. The best time to visit Olkarien is from Much to April when the vulture are breeding and occurrence of migration. These Griffons mate for the life, they lay only one egg and their brooding takes about 55days, and bot sexes incubates the egg.
On the western part of the Gol Mountains Nasera Rock is located there, and it is 100m high to get there, one can travel from Olduvai Gorge 26km before you reach Lemala Hill. Alternatively one can passes Malambo road to Olkarien Gorge and turn west onto Ang'ata kiti Plain, after driving about 25km along this road you will see Nasera rock at the right side. This rock was used during the stone age as the [url=http://www.ot2.jp/epad/epad.cgi]moncler outlet Gucci handbags[/url] shelter, this is the one of the highlight of the NCA.

Lake Ndutu and lake Masek form shallow basins where water accumulate from the nearly by areas of slightly high altitude the water in both lake takes extremely saline, too saltly for the human but animal in rare case do drink there. Lake Ndutu become alive with animals during the migration, due to the surrounded of Ndutu woodlands and the short grass Plains which provide ample cover and food. In NCA at lake Ndutu the most bird found in this part are Flamingos these bird are very attracted to the salt lakes, they like to microscopic plants and animals that occur in the mud and other shallow surface that occur in the lakes .
In NCA there are also [url=http://www.ennenne.it]moncler sito ufficiale[/url] different Maasai culture these are ; Seneto Cultural this located at Malanja depression, Kiloki Senyati Cultural Boma it is situated at 7km south-west of Olduvai [url=http://www.diecastlinks.co.uk]hollister outlet[/url] gorge, Loongoku Cultural Boma this is also located 10km before turn to Olduvai gorge, Irkeepus Cultural Boma this located 2km north-east of Lemala gate.
