Ngorongoro recognized as geological heritage site

THE Ngorongoro Crater has been designated and included in the prestigious list of the Second 100 International Union of Geological Sciences (IUGS) Geological Heritage Sites.

Cultural Heritage Officer Lightness Kyambile and Senior Geologist Ramadhani Khatibu played a pivotal role in this recognition by preparing a comprehensive publication on the Crater’s unique geology.
