Ngorongoro Crater rim viewpoint in northern Tanzania
Tanzania

Ngorongoro Crater

Overview

Descend 600 metres into the world's largest intact volcanic caldera, where 25,000 animals live year-round on the crater floor. Black rhino, lion prides and huge elephant bulls share grassland, soda lake and fever-tree forest within a single enclosed ecosystem. Because the wildlife cannot migrate out, sightings are dense and reliable in every season. Between drives you stay on the forested rim with views across the crater, and visit Maasai grazing land on the surrounding highlands.
