Shortly after entering the reservation area, you can view a spectacular panorama of this beautiful caldera.
Ngorongoro Crater is home to black rhinos, cheetahs, lions, leopards, elephants, zebra, and birds like ostrich, vultures, and flamingos. You might see hyenas or jackals hunting flamingos on the crater soda lake.
