In the afternoon, you'll travel to Ngorongoro, often referred to as the 8th Natural Wonder of the World. With its towering 2,000-foot-high walls and a floor that spans 102 square miles, the crater is like a natural sanctuary, home to nearly every species native to East Africa, including the elusive black rhinos. It boasts the highest concentration of wildlife on Earth, featuring a river, several swamps, a soda lake that gives the illusion of steam from above, full of flamingos, a lush forest, and vast open plains. The mighty bull elephants here have enormous tusks, thanks to the rich volcanic soil and grasses that provide them with essential minerals.
