Covering approximately 8,292 square kilometers (3,202 square miles), it is renowned for its breathtaking landscapes, abundant wildlife, and the world-famous Ngorongoro Crater, the largest intact and inactive volcanic caldera on Earth. The conservation area is home to an incredible diversity of wildlife, including the Big Five—lions, leopards, elephants, buffaloes, and the endangered black rhinoceros. Visitors can also encounter wildebeest, zebras, hippos, hyenas, cheetahs, jackals, gazelles, and more than 500 species of birds. The Ngorongoro Crater's permanent water sources and fertile grasslands support wildlife throughout the year, making it one of Africa's finest safari destinations.
