Ngorongoro Crater
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
Ngorongoro crater is the world's largest unbroken volcanic caldera, sited towards the northwest of Arusha in Tanzania, and is connected to the Serengeti savannah to its immediate south. It is a unique example of the diversity of nature in that, it has become a natural enclosure for a very wide variety of wildlife, including most of the species found in East Africa. It has been declared a national park under the Ngorongoro Conservation Authority.
Aside from vast herds of zebra and wildebeest, Ngorongoro is home to Black rhinoceros, White Rhinoceros and black-maned lions.
Ngorongoro was the subject of one of PBS' documtaries in the series "The Living Edens"[1] (http://www.pbs.org/edens/ngorongoro/).
