After a quiet night on the crater rim, we set off today on an extraordinary game drive in the Ngorongoro Crater. The crater has an extension of about 20 kilometers and an animal density that is nowhere higher than here. The crater is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is home to most species of East African wildlife. For example, the endangered black rhino, which is a member of the “Big Five” alongside the buffalo, lion, elephant and leopard!
