About Ngorongoro Crater

The Ngorongoro Crater is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the world's largest intact volcanic caldera — a 260 km² natural amphitheatre sheltering an astonishing concentration of wildlife. Descend the crater walls at dawn and you may see lion, elephant, buffalo, and critically endangered black rhino before breakfast.

The surrounding highlands are home to Maasai communities who still graze cattle alongside wildlife, offering a glimpse of a coexistence found nowhere else.
