ngorongoro crater wildlife attraction.

Ngorongoro is one of the largest unflooded and unbroken caldera in the world. At about 20km wide ,The crater floor consists of a number of ecological environments that include grassland, swamps,forest s and Lake Makat, a central soda lake filled by the Munge River. All these habitats attract wildlife to graze here. In fact, the crater floor is one of the most densely crowded game areas in the world. The open grassland makes it easy to monitor, so it is also a stronghold for endangered species like black rhino and cheetah.
Ngorongoro is one of East Africa's most visited destinations. It is because of this that it's a big draw card for tourists coming to Tanzania. Within the crater rim, large herds of zebra and wildebeest graze nearby while sleeping lions laze in the sun. At dawn, the endangered black rhino returns to the thick cover of the crater forests after grazing on dew-laden grass in the morning mist. Just outside the crater's ridge, tall Masai herd their cattle and goats over green pastures through the highland slopes, living alongside the wildlife as they have for centuries.
