NGORONGORO CRATER

Ngorongoro Crater

The Ngorongoro Crater is a world-renowned natural wonder and one of the most sought-after safari destinations in Africa. Located in Northern Tanzania, the crater is the world's largest intact volcanic caldera, formed over two million years ago when a massive volcano exploded and collapsed in on itself. Today, it is home to the highest density of big game in Africa, including the Big Five: elephants, lions, leopards, buffaloes, and rhinos.
Visitors who visit Ngorongoro Crater can enjoy a range of activities, including game drives to observe the abundant wildlife, cultural visits to local Maasai villages, and hiking trails to explore the surrounding highlands. The crater also boasts stunning scenery, with volcanic craters providing a dramatic backdrop to lush, fertile grazing grounds.

This year I decided to celebrate my birthday by taking a challenge and that was to climb Mt Kilimanjaro. The idea came 6 months back & accordingly I prepared myself. I made my plan in such a way so that I reached the summit on 21st June 2017 (my birthday).
