What a wonderful place to visit. The crater is full of life. We were up close to wildlife. Our guide knew a lot about the animals and there habits. I was amazed how large the crater was. You must go in the early morning to catch most of the animals grazing. Also be aware to close your windows while stoping at rest stops. One of them entered our vehicle and took a box lunch. ðŸ¤

I was stunned by my initial first glimpse of the crater floor from the viewing site on the rim. I had not expected anything quite like this. On site the lions were hiding, we did see one male. Spotting Rhino completed Africa's Big Five. There are lots of meandering roads which we drove along, always animals in sight. Hippo were a highlight in the hippo pool and the picnic site. Loved the Vulture collecting sticks for its best. Totally unfazed by us. Would love to go back and stay in one of the crater rim lodges, or better still in the camp site in the crater.
