Hidden within its towering volcanic walls, you'll discover a unique ecosystem, with wide-open savannahs, patches of acacia woodlands, and shimmering lakes and swamps. The crater was formed millions of years ago when a massive volcano erupted and collapsed in on itself, creating this incredible natural wonder.

Driving down into the crater is an unforgettable experience, and once you reach the floor, you’ll be surrounded by a diverse range of wildlife, including over 500 species of birds, zebras, gazelles, and wildebeest. The crater is also one of the best places to spot the endangered black rhinos, which can sometimes be seen grazing on the open grasslands. After a thrilling game drive, you'll enjoy a leisurely lunch at a scenic picnic spot before continuing your adventure.
