If you had to choose one destination in Africa, Ngorongoro crater reserve would be it. This place offer possibly the most varied and diversified collection in Africa and the probably the world. The formation of this crater is attributed to bursting of a giant volcano here, centuries ago. This crater is now the largest in the world.

The environment and surrounding of the crater area varies from swamps, forests, lakes and open savannah grasslands. On a typical day, a game tour offers you a chance of sighting almost 30,000 animals. The walls of the crater may be as high as 600 meters. So all this backdrops guaranteed diversity in the animal couture found here. You can find hippos in the swamps, flamingos in the lakes, elephants in the thick forests and hyenas, preying on the wildebeest and buffaloes, grazing in the open savannah grasslands.

The rare African black rhino can also be found, hiding from the hunters and humans, in the high walls of the crater. Ngorongoro also houses the maximum number of predators, ranging from black mane tigers to cheetahs to hyenas, in the world. (more…)
