The Ngorongoro Crater is the largest intact ancient caldera in the world, nearly three million years old. The Ngorongoro volcano was one of the world's tallest mountains before it exploded and collapsed. The crater is one of Tanzania's most popular tourist destinations and known for excellent wildlife viewing.
Thousands of wild game can be seen on the crater floor, including lions, elephants, rhinos, Thomson's gazelles and buffaloes. Wildebeests and zebras account for over half of the estimated 30,000 animals that call the Ngorongoro Crater home. They do not migrate, like their counterparts in the Serengeti, because of the permanent supply of water and grass. Giraffes are not found in the area due to the steep sides of the crater
