The Ngorongoro Crater, which is 600 meters deep and 250 square kilometers in size, consists mostly of open grassland. It is home to a diverse array of animals, such as elephants, black rhinoceroses, leopards, buffalo, zebras, warthogs, gnu (wildebeests), Grant’s and Thomson’s gazelles, and the world's densest population of lions. The local Maasai people also graze their livestock in Ngorongoro Highlands. You will have lunch at the Lake Ngoitoktok picnic site in the crater.
