About Ngorongoro Crater
The Ngorongoro Crater is a massive volcanic caldera formed 2-3 million years ago when a giant volcano exploded and collapsed. The crater floor covers 260 square kilometers and is surrounded by 600-meter high walls, creating a natural enclosure for wildlife. This unique ecosystem supports an estimated 25,000 large animals, including the highest density of predators in Africa and one of the last remaining populations of black rhinos in Tanzania.
