NGORONGORO CRATER
The Ngorongoro Crater, at 2,286m above the sea level is the largest
unbroken caldera in the world. Surrounded by very steep walls rising
610 metres from the crater floor, this natural amphitheatre covers
an area of about 260 sq km tha’s 100 sq miles and is home to up to
30000 animals, almost half of them Zebra and wildebeest.
There are also gazelle, buffalo, eland, hartebeest and wart hog.
Such vast numbers attract predators a plenty, mainly lion and hyena
but also cheetah and leopard. More than 100 species of birds not
found in the Serengeti have been spotted here. Countless flamingos
form a pink blanket over the soda lakes.
