The crater is home to an unprecedented number of animals, including the black rhino, lions, magnificent elephants, and smaller game. The crater is self-sustaining due to annual rainfall, hence animals do not need to migrate in search of food. With a bit of luck, a lot of wildlife can be spotted during one game drive only.
