Today, spanning over 19 kilometers wide, the crater encompasses diverse habitats including expansive acacia forests, hippo-filled swamps, and vast open grasslands.

These varied environments are home to a rich array of wildlife, boasting over 30,000 animals such as elephants, warthogs, flamingos, impressive bird species, the elusive black rhinoceros, and all of Africa's iconic big cats.
