Deutsch Overview of the Ngorongoro Crater
The Ngorongoro Crater, located in Tanzania, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the world's largest intact volcanic calderas, formed millions of years ago. Spanning approximately 260 square kilometers, it houses a diverse ecosystem that supports a rich array of wildlife, including the Big Five—lions, elephants, buffalos, leopards, and rhinoceros. The crater's unique geography creates a microclimate, making it a lush haven for various species. Visitors can experience breathtaking views and vibrant landscapes while engaging in safaris to observe the wildlife in their natural habitat. Its significance extends beyond nature, as the area is also home to the Maasai people, intertwining cultural heritage with conservation efforts.
