Ngoro Ngoro Crater

The Ngorongoro Crater is a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the most remarkable geological features in the world. Formed by a collapsed volcano, this massive caldera spans about 265 square kilometers (102 square miles) and is often referred to as a “natural enclosure” for wildlife.
