Descend 600 meters into the world’s largest unbroken volcanic caldera, where a unique ecosystem supports a high density of wildlife. The crater floor is home to the Big Five—lions, elephants, buffalos, leopards, and the rare black rhino—along with large herds of zebras, wildebeests, hippos, and gazelles.

At midday, enjoy a picnic lunch at the Hippo Pool, surrounded by scenic views of the crater walls. Continue your game drive across open grasslands, acacia woodlands, and freshwater lakes, spotting a wide variety of wildlife.

In the afternoon, ascend back to the crater rim with lasting memories of a remarkable safari in one of Africa’s most iconic wildlife destinations, then return to your lodge for dinner and relaxation.
