Lake Manyara National Park – Ngorongoro Crater

With a year-round water supply and fodder, the Ngorongoro Crater supports a vast array of animals, including herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, eland, warthog, hippo, and giant African elephants. Another major attraction of this picturesque national park is its dense population of predators, including lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs, and the elusive leopard, which sometimes requires a trained eye to spot.
