Ngorongoro is one of the largest unflooded and unbroken calderas in the world that isn’t a lake. It’s wall soar to up to 610m and 300sq kms in area, which provide the setting for an incredible natural drama, as pray and predators graze and stalk their way around the open grasslands, swamps and acacia woodland on the crater floor, which is breathtaking natural wonder.

The area contains over 25,000 large animals including 26 black rhinoceros. There are 7,000 wildebeests, 4,000 zebras, 3,000 eland and 3,000 Grant's and Thomson's gazelles. The crater also has the densest known population of lions, numbering 62. Higher up, in the rainforests of the crater rim, are leopards, about 30 large elephants, mountain reedbuck and more than 4,000 buffalos, spotted hyenas, jackals, rare wild dogs, cheetahs, and other felines.

The legendary annual wildebeest and zebra migration also passes through Ngorongoro, when the 1.7 million ungulates move south into the area in December then move out heading north in June. The migrants passing through the plains of the reserve include 1.7 million wildebeest, 260,000 zebra, and 470,000 gazelles.
