This UNESCO World Heritage Site offers a unique biosphere that has remained virtually unchanged.

Deep within the crater, enclosed by towering walls, you have a good chance of spotting the "Big Five" (lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino and leopard). For the last 2 mentioned, you need a bit of luck as they tend to shy away. Approximately 30,000 animals live on the crater floor!
