Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania

• View slideshow (2 photos)

The Ngorongoro Crater is a wildlife haven and, as such, it's almost too well-loved and well-visited. Nevertheless, it justifiably remains virtually a ‘must’ on any first visit to Tanzania. A breathtaking sight, and an extraordinary place, the unique appeal of the Ngorongoro Crater is the sheer abundance of wildlife permanently resident on the crater floor. Lions stalk the grasslands in search of vulnerable game; flamingos grace the shallow lakes, and yet the Masai still bring their cattle down into the crater to graze alongside huge herds of wildebeest, zebra and buffalo as they always have done.
