Ngorongoro Crater

Northern circuit

Ngorongoro Crater

A collapsed caldera holding 25,000 animals.

The largest intact volcanic caldera in the world, and one of the few places in Tanzania where you have a genuine chance of seeing black rhino.

The crater floor is only 260 square kilometres, so game viewing is dense and reliable year round. Descend early — the light is better and the crowds arrive after nine.
