Following close behind are predators like lions, hyenas, and crocodiles, eager to stake their claim in this journey of life and death. Tanzania also has variety of geographic extremes, from the highest peak in Mount Kilimanjaro to the lowest point in the lake bed of Lake Tanganyika and a portion of the largest lake in Lake Victoria on the African continent. There is also the highest density of big game anywhere in Africa in the Ngorongoro Crater.
