To the northwest of the reserve is Serengeti National Park. The southeastern borders of the reserve are defined by the Syrian-African Rift. About 2.5 million years ago, Ngorongoro Reserve was a huge volcanic mountain. So high was this mountain that researchers speculate that it was even higher than Mount Kilimanjaro. The crater was formed as a result of the collapse of the volcanic mountain inland.
The safari in the Ngorongoro Crater is rich and fascinating. Herds of elephants, zebras, Thompson deer, Grant deer, toffee deer and more can be observed. As for predators, lions, and an increasing number of cheetahs and hyenas can be seen. The reserve is home to a number of critically endangered black rhinos.
