Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera. Formed millions of years ago, it now hosts a rich variety of wildlife within its 259 km² floor. The crater’s diverse habitats, including forests, grasslands, and lakes, support an impressive array of animals. Visitors can expect to see the Big Five lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino along with many other species. The caldera’s steep walls create a natural enclosure, making wildlife sightings more predictable and rewarding. Ngorongoro is also home to Maasai communities who live around the rim, adding a cultural touch to your safari adventure.
