Sunrise on ngorongoro crater

http://www.safarilands.org/np_ngorongoro.php

Ngorongoro Crater is a caldera, the largest unbroken and ufloaded in the world. An active volcano several million years ago, it is thought to have once stood higher than Mt. Kilimanjaro. It is home to a small relict population of black rhinoceros and some 25,000 other large animals, largely ungulates, alongside the highest density of mammalian predators in Africa. Nearby are lake-filled Empakaai crater and the active volcano of Oldonyo Lengai. Excavations carried out in the Oldupai Gorge to the west, resulted in discoveries which have made the area one of the most important in the world for research on the evolution of the human species.
