Go on a Game Drive Around Ngorongoro Crater

Ngorongoro Crater is a large volcanic caldera formed by volcanic activities millions of years ago. What makes Ngorongoro Crater so special is how rich the vegetation on the crater floor is, which is not so common for a volcanic caldera. When the volcano erupted, it collapsed onto itself creating a large floor as deep as 600 m (2,000 ft) and covering over 260 square km (100 square ml). Due to this collapse, a stream nearby was drained into the lake at the center of the crater creating a condition where animals can strive.

What makes a game drive in Ngorongoro Crater so special is the fact that the terrain there is completely different from the one you saw in Serengeti. A trip to Ngorongoro Crater is often included in a 3-day tour itinerary and you will be spending half the day driving around the crater floor, observing all kinds of wildlife such as lions and even rhinos.
