The Ngorongoro Crater (19.2km of diameter, 610m deep, and 304 sq km) is one of the most densely crowded wildlife areas in the world and is home to some of Tanzania’s last remaining black rhinos.
Its huge population of predators is another big draw card to this crater. Supported by a year round water supply and fodder, this breathtaking oasis provides a haven for both predator and prey to live among grasslands.
