million wildebeest and about 200,000 zebras flow south from the

caldera at 8300 sq km and is arguably the most stunning arena.
It is frequently described as one of the wonders of the world,
not only because of its geological magnificence, but also
because it serves as an extraordinary natural sanctuary for some
of Africa’s largest populations of large mammals. Ngorongoro and
other freestanding mountains are volcanic in origin, formed
during the fracturing process that created the Rift valley 15 to
20 million years ago. When it peaked in size 3 million years ago
