Ngorongoro Crater

A world inside a volcano

About Ngorongoro Crater

A collapsed volcanic caldera with a dense concentration of wildlife on its floor.

Descending into the Ngorongoro Crater puts a remarkable range of wildlife within a single day's drive, from lions and hyenas to hippos and, with luck, black rhino. The crater rim sits high enough to be cool and often misty.
