An ecosystem consists of interconnected elements such as topography, climate conditions, wildlife populations and human impacts. In the case of Serengeti, its climate is characterized by alternating periods of rain and drought.

The landscape is lush and picturesque compared to a Garden of Eden.” Connected to the Serengeti National Park on its border the Ngorongoro Conservation Area covers 8,292 square kilometres and is part of the broader Serengeti ecosystem. Its western plains serve as a migration route, for 2.5 million wildebeest and other ungulates. Towards its section lies the Crater Highlands—a magnificent area boasting volcanic peaks and craters formed by similar tectonic forces that shaped the Great Rift Valley below.
