The Ngorongoro Conservation Area is dominated by the well know Ngorongoro Crater. The craters is a true Garden of Eden, with highland forest covering the sheer sides of the caldera and is popularly known as the eighth wonder of the world. Measuring 16 kilometres in diameter and enclosed in walls over 600 metres high, it acts as a spectacular barrier encircling the wildlife that roams the largest intact crater in the world.
The crater floor is home to some 25, 000 animals including the "big five" of buffalo, elephant, rhino, lion and leopard but also not forgetting your more common species of zebra, wildebeest and buffalo.
