Spanning approximately 20 kilometers across, 600 meters deep, and covering an area of 300 square kilometers, the Ngorongoro Crater is a stunning natural wonder. You will also visit Lake Magadi, a large shallow alkaline lake located in the southwestern corner of the crater, known for its vibrant population of flamingos, hippos, and various other water birds.
