About Crater Floor
The Ngorongoro Crater floor is a wildlife paradise contained within the world's largest intact volcanic caldera. This 260-square-kilometer natural amphitheater hosts an estimated 30,000 animals, creating one of the highest wildlife densities on Earth. The crater floor ecosystem is self-contained, with permanent water sources and year-round grazing, making it a perfect habitat for a diverse range of species including all of Africa's Big Five.
