Ngorongoro Conservation Area in Tanzania, featured image for a Kenya travel article

Area: 8,292 sq kms (3,202 sq miles)

The Ngorongoro Crater in Northern Tanzania, once a gigantic volcano, is the largest intact caldera in the world. The Ngorongoro crater is a deep, volcanic caldera about 20kms across, 600 meters deep and 300 sq kms in area, the Ngorongoro Crater is a breathtaking natural wonder. Some maintain that before it erupted, it would have been higher than Mt Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa.

Today, long since having collapsed and eroded, it is an extensive highland area with the famous 600 m deep Ngorongoro Crater as its focal point. Nearly three million years old, the ancient caldera shelters one of the most beautiful wildlife havens on earth.

Attractions

  •  Approximately 25,000 large animals live in the crater.
  •  Crater lions
  •  Lake Magadi Flamingos
  • Ol Duvai Gorge
