Ngorongora Crater, Tanzania

You can see why this gorgeous crater attracts all types of animals. The lake at the bottom provides water. Some of the animals that live here are: elephants, lions, hyenas, warthogs, zebra, waterbucks, Impala, gazelle, cheetah, leopards, hippos and wildebeest.

This area is not really a crater. It was once a volcano but has collapsed in on itself over millions of years. Flamingoes live on the lake's edge and create quite a sight when they flock together.
