Ngorongoro
Crater
Eighth wonder of the world' Land of Maasai, of their cattle and of the fauna, this
protected area is located in the Great Rift Valley,
gigantic fracture of the earth's crust. Volcanoes, mountains, plains, lakes,
forests and archeological sites form this mangnificent
landscape.
At 1600 meters
altitude, the bottom of the crater (265 km square) dotted with watering holes,
shelters almost 30 000 animals in an area naturally enclosed by the slopes of
the volcano (but the animals can leave).
The crater elephants are strangely, mainly bulls. There are a small number of
black rhino. The bird life is largely seasonal and is also affected by the
ratio of soda fresh water in Lake
Magadi
on the crater floor.
It's called the eighth wonder of the world.
Best time: whole year - rainy season in April.
