Tourist map of the Ngorongoro conservation area Tanzania | Veronica Roodt

The cartographic design displays the information of the Tourist Map of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area with strong accents and is based on satellite photography. The main map and the enlarged maps show grids of parallels and meridians with degree data and a choice of 180 GPS coordinates. The legend indicates boundaries, tarred and gravel main routes, secondary routs that require 4×4, walking trails including distance and time, day and long walking trails, walking trail camp sites, bomas, villages and protected areas. Also indicated are gas stations, public, NCA and special camp sites, lodges, rangers posts, airstrips, look-out points, places of interest, picnic sites and toilets, distance legs and aggregated distances. There is information on park regulation of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, fingertip facts on locality, size, history, climate, and geological history. Along with the map comes a decent photographic checklist of 280 birds, 40 plants and 75 animals of the region, many of them featuring the Swahili names.
