Ngorongoro Crater

Ngorongoro Crater

The Ngorongoro Crater is a large, inactive volcanic caldera in the Great Rift Valley, Tanzania. It is the world’s largest unbroken caldera and is home to a diverse variety of animals, including lions, elephants, zebras, wildebeests, and black rhinoceroses. The crater is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Tanzania.

The Ngorongoro Crater was formed about 2.5 million years ago when a large volcano collapsed inward. The crater is about 12 miles (19 kilometers) in diameter and has a depth of about 2,000 feet (610 meters). The crater floor is a fertile savanna plain that is home to a variety of wildlife.

The Ngorongoro Conservation Area, which includes the crater, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The conservation area is home to a variety of Maasai people, who have lived in the area for centuries. The Maasai are a semi-nomadic pastoral people who graze their livestock on the crater floor.
