Ngorongoro Crater is the world’s largest inactive, intact volcanic caldera, and its 260 km² floor holds an estimated 25,000 large animals year-round, drawn by permanent water and grazing. It’s one of the most reliable places on the continent to see the Big Five in a single day, including a healthy population of black rhino.
