Ngorongoro Crater
Often referred to as a Garden of Eden, the Crater is home to nearly every species of animal found in this area. It has one of the highest lion densities in all of Africa, and encompasses a range of ecosystems within its 2000' high walls. The diversity of wildlife is a major attraction here. Entry is limited to a six hour permit, so you need to book in advance. While there are some wonderful lodges perched on the rim of the crater, they have a limited number of beds and this location is often booked out.
