A UNESCO World Heritage Site (and for good reason), the cavernous, bowl-shaped crater is a caldera, formed two to three million years ago when a large volcano exploded and collapsed in on itself. Today, the flat floor is covered in nutritious grasses and is home to unprecedented numbers of black rhinos, as well as black-maned lions, magnificent tusks and smaller plains game, but surprisingly no giraffes.
We'll let you ponder why when you visit! Spend the day exploring the crater on photo safari tours, before driving to your accommodation in southern Serengeti (Ndutu).
