SIMPLY EXTRAORDINARY... Roughly 3-million years ago, one of the largest volcanoes on earth collapsed in on itself, and what remained was the Ngorongoro Crater, a vast, almost perfectly circular caldera stretching 19km across and dropping 600m to a floor that has been supporting one of the densest concentrations of wildlife in Africa ever since.
It is, by any measure, one of the most geologically and ecologically significant landscapes on the planet, a place where the ancient violence of the earth's interior created something of extraordinary, enduring beauty.
To stand on the rim and look down into it for the first time is to understand, in a very immediate and physical way, just how old and how extraordinary this continent really is.
