The Ngorongoro conservation area is home to a wide range of wildlife, including herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and enormous African elephants. It is also supported by a year-round supply of water and forage. Many people call Ngorongoro Crater the eighth wonder of the world! The crater, which was created by a volcano erupting millions of years ago, is home to more than 25,000 huge creatures.

The enormous, walled crater, which also contains gorgeous lakes, verdant forests, and expansive grasslands, is home to the animals, who coexist peacefully. Owing to its vastness and variety, the crater floor is made up of a number of different regions, including open grassland, some sandy dunes, lakes, springs, swamps, and forests. The nature experience is amazing. One of the crater’s primary features, Lake Magadi, is a sizable but shallow alkaline lake located in the southwest corner. It is normally possible to view a lot of flamingos, hippos, and other water birds here.
