Ngorongoro Crater
The Ngorongoro Crater boasts a unique climate due to its high altitude, with cool temperatures and misty mornings. The crater creates its own microclimate, making it a fascinating place to visit for those interested in weather patterns and ecosystems.
Estimates of the height of the original volcano range from 4,500 to 5,800 metres (14,800 to 19,000 feet) high. The crater floor is 1,800 metres (5,900 feet) above sea level. The crater was voted by Seven Natural Wonders as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa in Arusha, Tanzania in February 2013. The Ngorongoro volcano was active from about 2.45 to 2 million years ago.
The volcanic eruptions like that of Ngorongoro, which resulted in the formation of Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania, were very common. Similar collapses occurred in the case of Olmoti and Empakaai, but they were much smaller in magnitude and impact.
Best time to go
However, it is important to note that this is also the peak tourist season, so the crater may be more crowded compared to other times of the year.
