In addition to wildlife as a tourist attraction, geological features are drawing visitors to northern Tanzania’s Ngorongoro Conservation Area.
The geological features have been collectively established as Ngorongoro Lengai Geopark, whose geological history dates back 500 million years.
Ngorongoro Conservation Area Authority (NCAA) management is now developing tourist lodges and other visitor service facilities in the geopark to attract foreign and local visitors, heritage manager Joshua Mwankunda said. It receives about 600,000 visitors every year.
