The Crater, which formed when a giant volcano exploded and collapsed two to three million years ago, is 610 m (2,001 ft) deep and its floor covers 260 km² (102 square miles). Estimates of the height of the original volcano range from fifteen to nineteen thousand feet (4500 to 5800 meters) high. The crater is reserved to conserve wildlife and other natural resources, as well as to safeguard the interests of indigenous people and promote tourism. That make safari in Ngorongoro to be unique experience of seeing animals, The Maasai herdsmen whose cattle graze side by side with the tremendous variety of wildlife found in the area.
