Often referred to as ‘the eighth wonder of the world' the Ngorongoro Crater is one of Africa's best-known wildlife arenas. A World Heritage Site, it is also one of the largest volcanic craters in the world (almost 20 kilometres wide, 610-760 metres deep and covering a total area of 264 square kilometres). An utterly unique biosphere, the Crater harbours grasslands, swamps, forests, salt-pan, a fresh water lake and a glorious variety of bird-life, all enclosed within its towering walls. Maasai tribes with their cattle share this crater with the wildlife in this National Park
