The Ngorongoro Crater spreads 102 square miles with its walls at 2,000 feet high and it hosts almost every wildlife species indigenous to East Africa such as the black rhino. The Ngorongoro Crater has the highest concentration of wildlife in the world. It consists of a river, swamps, and a soda lake which from the top looks like a stream full of flamingoes, forest and open plains. Due to the rich mineral content of the volcanic soil and the grasses, bull elephants that live here have large tusks.
