About Ngorongoro Crater

A UNESCO World Heritage Site with 25,000 large animals inside a 260 km² crater floor, including the rare black rhino. The crater is a self-contained ecosystem, so wildlife is unusually concentrated but it also means you'll see other vehicles. Stay on the rim for sunrise over the caldera.
