Ngorongoro Crater - Nyumbu Beyond Journeys

Ngorongoro Crater, often referred to as the “Eighth Wonder of the World,” is one of Africa’s most breathtaking natural landmarks. Located in northern Tanzania, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera, spanning approximately 260 square kilometers and plunging 600 meters deep. Formed millions of years ago by the collapse of a massive volcano, the crater is now a self-contained ecosystem teeming with an astonishing diversity of wildlife. It is home to the famous Big Five—lions, elephants, buffaloes, leopards, and rhinos—as well as thousands of wildebeest, zebras, and flamingos that thrive in its lush grasslands, lakes, and forests. With its stunning landscapes and unparalleled wildlife encounters, Ngorongoro Crater offers an unforgettable safari experience, making it one of Africa’s most iconic conservation areas.
