The crater is approximately 20 km (12 miles) wide and 600 m (2,000 ft) deep. The floor is home to a rich and highly concentrated population of wildlife, including about 20 black rhinoceroses among the 20,000 mammals of various sizes that live there. This makes the crater the best place in Tanzania to see rhinos.
The animals in the crater are generally less wary of humans and vehicles, allowing for closer observation as they roam the lakes, rivers, woodlands, and hills. After your time in the crater, you will exit and drive to your lodge on the rim, arriving in time for a late hot lunch & overnight stay.
