The
Ngorongoro Crater is a world heritage site, the world’s largest intact
volcanic caldera and is commonly referred to as the 8th wonder of the world.
The 2,000 feet high walls of the approximately 10 mile wide crater create a
natural Amphitheatre for the densest populations of large animals anywhere. It
is a microcosm of the vast Serengeti National Park and in one day it is
possible to see a staggering array of East African wildlife including all the
big carnivores.
The
crater lives up to its infamous reputation with abundant and easily accessible
wildlife and offers a reasonable chance to see lion, hyena or cheetah in
action. The Crater is truly awe-inspiring and will surely be one of the
highlights of your safari. The rim of the Ngorongoro Crater ranges in altitude
from about 7,000 feet to 8,000 feet. Down below, the relatively flat floor of
the Crater rests at an elevation of about 5,500 feet.
The
Ngorongoro Crater is the second best place in Tanzania (perhaps all of Africa)
to view the large carnivores.
