The Ngorongoro Crater is a unique environment, unparalleled in the world. And ‘what remains of an ancient volcanic cone with its top collapsed about 2.5 million years ago, giving way to the current caldera: a truncated cone, which inside houses a “frying pan” from 16 diameter / 20 km, with raised edges of about 600 m over the ground, in which it has developed a savanna where more than 25,000 large animals live. All the typical species of the region, with the exception of giraffes (that we do not find nourishment) living in the Ngorongoro Crater.
