Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s biggest intact caldera on earth. It has a depth of 600 meters high, a diameter of 20 kilometers, and an area of about 300 square kilometers. This wonderful spectacle is home to over 30,000 large animals, which live in its crater floor getting nearly everything from it. They are therefore non-migratory.
On this day, you will have a full day at Lake Manyara National Park, which is one of the mysterious destinations in the northern circuit. This park is home to many wild animals such as giraffes, lions, and buffalos. Lake Manyara is also densely populated by pink flamingos on its shallow shores.
