Established in 1959, the NCA covers approximately 8,292 square kilometers and includes the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater, Olduvai Gorge, and various important ecosystems. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site recognized for its outstanding universal value, both in terms of natural and cultural resources.
