Ngorongoro is the relict of a gargantuan volcano that collapsed upon itself, leaving only a base of it's walls to ring a crater 10 miles wide. The floor of the crater is 102 miles square, with the height of the rim averaging 2,000 feet higher. Lush vegetation, a soda lake, and animals condensed into a small area combine to make this a great place for game viewing. We stayed at a beautiful lodge located on the Crater rim - with great showers to come home to after a long day in the dusty crater bowl! (Click on picture for larger view)
