This large volcanic caldera is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is the most popular destinations in Tanzania. It has a circumference of some 16 to 19 kilometres and a rim rising 400 to 600 metres high, creating an amazing amphitheatre for photography. It’s cold up on the crater rim, with thick forests bejewelled with old man’s beard and lichen. Down on the crater floor, elephants, black rhino, cheetah, lion, herds of giraffe, and flamingo filled lakes are among the many amazing attractions for photographers. As a result of its small size and the fact that it’s so easy to find game, the Ngorongoro Crater’s wilderness atmosphere has been seriously affected. The access into the crater is strictly controlled between dawn and dusk, and it’s best to stay at a lodge on the rim to ensure that you get to spend the most time possible in the park.
