With good weather, you can enjoy a superb view over the crater from the crater rim. After breakfast go partly on adventurous road 600 metres down to the crater. The crater has a diameter of 17.2 km. Nearly all wildlife and diversity of the East African savannah has gathered here. Only giraffes and a few other animal species for which rocks are too steep for them do not live here.
Approximately 15000 to 2500 are gathered here depending on season. therefore, more than two-thirds of buffaloes, gnus, zebras, and gazelles. This large number of grazers also explains why in the crater the largest density of predators in Africa can be found. Besides other predators, more than 100 lions live here in several prides. Sometimes there is a chance of spotting the Big Five (lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino, and leopard) in the crater. In the afternoon it goes up again to the steep crater walls and then back to Arusha.
