Although the entire Ngorongoro Reserve covers 8,288 square kilometres, the focus of visitors is on the extinct crater, which covers an area of 310 square kilometres and is more than 600 metres deep. This huge crater is like a living biology textbook, showing us what an ecosystem is and what ecological balance means. There are about 25,000 large animals that inhabit this geographically relatively semi-enclosed area. Carnivores, herbivores, herbaceous plants, and animal manure as fertilizer form a self-sufficient ecosystem that has existed for tens of thousands of years.
