Ngorongoro Crater is truly one of the world’s natural wonders. Spanning 102 square miles with towering 2,000-foot walls, it’s often called Africa’s “Noah’s Ark,” holding nearly every species native to East Africa. This is one of the few places where you can see the rare black rhino in the wild, and it’s also home to some of the continent’s largest elephants, with their remarkable, long tusks. The crater floor is a mix of river channels, swamps, a flamingo-filled soda lake, dense forest, and open plains.
