:: The
Ngorongoro Crater
The
Ngorongoro Conservation Area is
8,920 sq. kms and is situated
between Arusha and the Serengeti
wit h Ngorongoro Crater at its heart.
The floor of the Crater, a vast
natural amphitheatre, teems with
game - elephant, rhino, buffalo,
lion, leopard, cheetah, wildebeest,
zebra and gazelle share the base of
this collapsed volcano with Masai
tribesmen, permitted to graze their
cattle on the Crater floor by day
but no longer allowed to inhabit the
Crater. Birds hover and dart, with
thousands of flamingo casting a pink
haze over the lake on the Crater
floor. All seen against the majestic
backdrop of the Crater walls.
