In standing position, it could have been as tall as Mt. Kilimanjaro. The rich fertile soil of this place has produced lush vegetation attracting more than 30,000 resident mammals and a delicate balance of predator and prey. There is a good chance of seeing the “Big Five” of African wildlife during your day of game driving on the crater’s floor. Also, you can spot the black-maned lion, cheetah, black rhino and flamingos. Picnic lunch is served near a hippo pool. In the afternoon, you return to your lodge for dinner and overnight.
