Ngoro Ngoro is a huge crater in Tanzania on the edge of the Serengeti savannah, which arose as a caldera as a result of the collapse of a large volcano about 2.5 million years ago. The depth of the crater is 610 m. Its edges rise to 2286 m above sea level. The diameter of the Ngoro Ngoro crater is between 17 and 21 km and its total area is approximately 265 sq. km. At the bottom of the crater is Lake Magadi, famous for its flamingo population. Ngoro Ngoro Crater is unique in that over the years it has formed its own habitat for many species of animals that are unable to get out. About 25 thousand animals live in the crater, it is observed the highest density of predators in all of Africa. Zebras, buffaloes and various types of antelopes such as wildebeest, eland and gazelles are especially common in Ngoro-Ngoro. They are hunted by lions and leopards living in the crater. Apart from Ngoro Ngoro is also inhabited by black rhinos, elephants and, which is unusual for these latitudes, hippos. Large migratory streams of animals from the Serengeti often pass through the Ngoro-Ngoro crater.
