One of the main attractions of Ngorongoro is its deep volcanic crater, the world's largest unflooded and unbroken caldera. It is approximately 20km² (12mi²) across, 600m (2,000ft) deep, and covers 300km² (1,260mi²). We have the opportunity to explore Lake Magadi, a large but shallow alkaline lake in the southwestern corner of the crater, known for its abundance of flamingos, hippos, and other water birds.
