Extend Your Beach Holiday With A Safari
The Ngorongoro Crater is a self-contained, natural wonder often called "Africa's Eden" or the "Eighth Wonder of the World." It's the world's largest intact volcanic caldera, forming a spectacular bowl-shaped sanctuary.
It boasts one of the highest concentrations of wildlife in Africa, including the "Big Five" (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and black rhino). The dense population and rare black rhino make it exceptional, the crater is a unique, self-sustaining ecosystem with distinct habitats—from grasslands and swamps to a freshwater lake and forest. This variety supports a incredible density of animals living in a relatively small, enclosed area, offering a microcosm of the East African safari experience.
