The sight of the Ngorongoro Crater is simply stunning. “It is one of the Wonders of the World…” once wrote Professor Bernhard Grzimek.

The crater floor is home to tens of thousands of plains animals, including wildebeest, zebra, gazelles, elands, and a large predator population of lions, hyena and jackal which can all be viewed at close range. The rare black rhino can be viewed here, and if you are lucky you can see cheetah and leopard.
