Ngorongoro Crater:

The Ngorongoro Crater is an exceptional ecosystem, unmatched globally. The remnants of an ancient volcanic cone, which collapsed approximately 2.5 million years ago, have formed the present caldera: a truncated cone that contains a “frying pan” measuring 16 by 20 kilometers, with elevated edges reaching about 600 meters above the ground, where a savanna has developed, supporting over 25,000 large animals. All the characteristic species of the region, with the exception of giraffes, which lack sustenance, inhabit the Ngorongoro Crater. The crater’s rim attains an elevation of 2300 meters above sea level, providing stunning vistas. The external inclines of the walls are enveloped by a thick primary forest canopy. In the evening, they arrive at the low grass plains, situated on the periphery of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and Serengeti Park, typically in the region influenced by the renowned migration at this season.

The orography, soil composition, and resultant vegetation provide unparalleled wildlife observations in Africa. The subsoil, particularly in the southern region, comprises volcanic rocks, which inhibit the growth of tall trees, resulting in the predominance of grasslands that facilitate visibility. Wildebeest and zebras of the Serengeti, perpetually seeking fresh pastures and water, are the principal participants in the world’s most extensive migratory movements of wild animals: the renowned Great Migration of the Serengeti, which occurs between December and March, impacts the central southern region of the park.
