Launching the competition, Commissioner Badru thanked the eight participants of the competition for responding to the call of Ngorongoro.
He explained that the Ngorongoro Conservation Area is more than Crete, especially due to its culture, nature, the origins of ancient humans, the secret of Humanity and its life, the Laetoli Footprints, which are over 3.6 million years old.
He said that others are shifting sands, witnessing the first Nyumbu birth in the Nduru area, five large animals in one area, the Lolmalasian mountain, which is the third highest in Tanzania, forests, plants, and various birds.
“Welcome to Ngorongoro, where it is home to all of us. You will experience various wonders, feel them, live them, enjoy them, narrate them, and help them gain skills that will make you good ambassadors to explain to other people the collection of wonders that are in Ngorongoro,” said Commissioner Badu.
Commissioner Badru has challenged the participants of the competition to be experts in understanding Ngorongoro, speaking about Ngorongoro with a new perspective and one voice where in collaboration with Azam Media the stories, history, wonders of Ngorongoro will be told and reach the four corners of the world that Ngorongoro is not just a tourist attraction but a Home for every Human being where their history began.
Senior Assistant Commissioner in charge of tourism services and marketing, Mariam Kobelo, has explained to the participants of the Safari Field Challenge that Tanzania has many things to be proud of, but Ngorongoro has much more and emphasized the participants of the competition to go and learn, understand, and tell about Ngorongoro as more than just the Ngorongoro Market.
The Ngorongoro Conservation Area is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, renowned for its unique geological features and rich biodiversity. It is home to the Ngorongoro Crater, the world’s largest inactive volcanic caldera, which hosts a variety of wildlife and is significant for its archaeological sites, including the Laetoli Footprints. These footprints provide evidence of early human life, making Ngorongoro a crucial location for understanding human evolution and history. The area’s cultural significance is also highlighted by the presence of the Maasai people, who have coexisted with wildlife for generations, contributing to the region’s unique heritage.
