Often described as the Eighth Wonder of the World, the Ngorongoro Crater is the largest unbroken volcanic caldera on Earth.

The crater spans about 19km (12mi) across, covering an area of 260km² (100mi²). Within this extraordinary landscape are forests, swamps filled with hippos and open grasslands. It is home to more than 30,000 animals, including elephants, warthogs, flamingos, rare black rhinos and many big cats. You may also encounter Maasai herders with their cattle sharing the land with buffalo and wildebeest.
