The Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA) is home to the Ngorongoro Crater, which was formed approximately 2.5 million years ago from a volcanic mountain sinking due to inactivity. Initially thought to be higher than Tanzania's famous Kilimanjaro, the crater has evolved into a unique and integral part of Tanzania's ecosystem. It is actually a caldera that measures 22.5 km across, with rim walls standing at 600 meters high. The views from within and from the rim are breathtaking. The crater is home to 30,000 animals and a large variety of birds, which rarely move from the area due to the availability of water throughout wet and dry seasons.
