The Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania is actually a UNESCO World Heritage Site! These types of sites are deemed to be of physical significance (or special cultural significance) by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation.
There are just 981 World Heritage Sites across the world (there are 28 in the UK alone) and this is one that you can visit where you’ll also get the opportunity to see a large collection of animal species including the “Big five” with a large population of Lions.
This is the largest unbroken, un-flooded volcanic caldera in the world. It was formed over three million years ago when a giant volcano exploded and collapsed in on itself. It is about 19kms wide and about six-hundred meters deep with a total area of 260 square kilometres which now acts as a natural enclosure for wildlife. It has been labelled as a conservation area, which protects numerous animal species.
