The 2,000 feet high walls of the approximately 10-mile-wide crater create a natural amphitheater for the densest populations of large animals anywhere in the world. It is a microcosm of the African safari experience and in one day it is possible to see a staggering array of wildlife including all the big carnivores. With abundant and easily accessible wildlife the Ngorongoro Crater is truly awe-inspiring with a strikingly majestic and sublime landscape.
