Africa's Garden of Eden
The Ngorongoro Crater is a large volcanic caldera within the Ngorongoro Conservation Area in Tanzania. The crater, which formed when a large volcano exploded and collapsed on itself two to three million years ago, is 610 metres deep, and its floor covers 260 square kilometres.
It is the world's largest inactive, intact, and unfilled volcanic caldera. The crater is home to approximately 25,000 large animals, including the Big Five.
Ngorongoro Crater offers remarkable wildlife viewing year-round, but each season brings its own unique spectacle. The dry season concentrates animals around water sources, while the wet season brings lush landscapes and newborn animals.
