We travel into the Ngorongoro Conservation area. The huge crater is a biosphere and home to many animals. The jewel in Ngorongoro's crown is a deep, volcanic crater, the largest un flooded and unbroken caldera in the world. About 20kms across, 600 meters deep and 300 sq kms in area, the Ngorongoro Crater is a breathtaking natural wonder.
Inside the visitor center is a lot of information about the crater.
