The Ngorongoro Crater offers some of the best wildlife viewing in Africa. This wildlife hotspot is home to almost 30,000 animals, including the Big Five. The crater is also known as the ‘Garden of Eden’, due to the abundance of wildlife, ever dancing clouds and beautiful colours of the landscape. Because of its natural beauty the Ngorongoro Crater is chosen as one of Africa’s Seven Natural Wonders.
Wildlife
With enough meadow areas, water and different vegetation, the crater has everything African wildlife needs to exist and do well. The crater floor teems with zebra, buffalo, elephant, flamingo, ostrich, hippo and even the rare black rhinos. This is one of the few areas in Africa where you can see the Big Five (buffalo, elephant, leopard, lion, and rhino) all together. Another big draw is the large number number of predators, which include lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs and leopards.
