The views from this north-eastern area , Ngorongoro Crater
may not be impressing from the top, but once you've wound
your way down through the jam-packed jungle you'll be won
over. It's been compared to Noah's Ark and the Garden of
Eden.
Lion, elephant, rhino, buffalo and many of the plains herbivores
such as wildebeest, Thomson's gazelle, zebra and reedbuck,
as well as thousands of flamingo wading in the shallows
of Lake Magadi.
Local Masai tribespeople have grazing rights here, and
you may well come across them tending their cattle. You
can reach the crater by private bus from Arusha (on the
main highway) at least as far as Karatu but it may be difficult
to find anything going beyond there.
