Views from the rim of the caldera of the Ngorongoro Conservation area. - A UNESCO world heritage site. The crater is also considered one of the 7 Wonders of Africa. (3 of the wonders are in Tanzania. We also visited the Serengeti and Mount Kilimanjaro)
The Ngorongoro Crater and surrounding highlands are one of Africa's most beautiful regions. Volcanic craters form stunning backdrops to some of the richest grazing grounds in Africa. The most famous is without question the Ngorongoro Crater, the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera; home to the highest density of big game in Africa. With 600 metre high walls and a rich volcanic floor that plays host to the big five, the Ngorongoro is one of the continent's most famous safari destinations.
