The Ngorongoro Crater, situated within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and international biosphere reserve. The crater is the largest intact caldera globally and the second-largest inactive volcano. This crater was once an active volcano around eight million years ago, but its cone collapsed, forming the immense crater we admire today. The crater’s rim is adorned with mountain forest vegetation and hosts diverse animal species. The crater spreads for 102sq miles and has 2 000ft high walls, making it virtually a Noah’s ark and inhabiting almost every species of wildlife that is indigenous to East Africa. It’s one of the very rare locations in the whole continent where you can witness the black rhino. The concentration of African wildlife is the greatest in the continent. The crater has a river, several swamps, a soda lake with a great concentration of flamingos, a forest and open plains. It’s also famous for its elephants which are the largest in the world and have huge tusks. This is due to the rich mineral content of the volcanic soil and its grasses. Ngorongoro Crater is truly a Wonder of the Natural World.
