The alkaline-water lake is home to flocks of pink flamingos, which at sunset blend with the sky, creating stunning landscapes.

After breakfast, we’ll head to the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA), one of the world's most famous safari spots, which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1978 and an International Biosphere Reserve in 1981. Ngorongoro Crater is located at 2,200 m (7,217.85 ft) above sea level, it has a diameter of more than 16 km (9.94 mi) and occupies a total area of about 265 km2 (102.32 mi2). Before going down the steep slope leading to the center of the crater, you can stop to take some scenic photos.
This park constitutes the largest uninterrupted caldera in the world and one of Africa's natural wonders: with around 30,000 large mammals as year-round residents (such as buffaloes, lions, elephants, cheetahs, and rhinos) and many varieties of birds (such as flamingos, eagles, buzzards, ostriches, and hawks), this park is absolutely unique for the variety of fauna. Inside the crater there isn’t much vegetation, which makes it easy to spot all the animals that inhabit the area.
