Nunca, a lo largo de mis viajes y de toda mi experiencia, nada, me impresionó tanto como el momento en el que por primera vez me asomé al borde del cráter del volcán de Ngorongoro. Algo que sólo fue superable, cuando me introduje en él, y me maravillé mezclándome entre la gran variedad de animales que alberga en su interior. Un auténtico paraíso, con un microclima y una gran variedad de plantas y especies, que todo amante de la naturaleza, debería visitar alguna vez. El Ngorongoro es un majestuoso volcán de 20 kilómetros de extensión y 600 metros de altura, enclavado en el corazón de la sabana y que debido a su inactividad casi milenaria, alberga en el interior de su cráter una importante reserva de animales salvajes.
-Never, during my travels and all my experience, nothing impressed me as much as the time when I first looked into the rim of the Ngorongoro crater. Something that was only overcome when I got into it, and I wondered mingling among the great variety of animals kept inside. A true paradise, with a microclimate and a variety of plants and species, that all nature lovers should visit sometime. The Ngorongoro is a majestic volcano 20 kilometers long and 600 meters high, located in the heart of the savannah and because of its failure almost ancient, contains within its crater an important wildlife reserve.
