With a depth of more than 2000 feet, it boasts a vast floor area of roughly 260 sq km. You will witness a great deal of animal activity during the five to six-hour game drive on the crater floor.

It's advised to always have the camera ready. There are many African animals to be found, including lions, hyenas, cheetahs, buffalo, hippos, and black rhinos. You will start a steep ascent to the top exit of the crater after enjoying a picnic lunch at the lovely Hippo pool.
