This landscape attracts large numbers of wildebeest and zebras and provides opportunities to see newborn calves together with predators such as lions, cheetahs and hyenas. Take your camera, watch carefully and enjoy the changing wildlife scenes.

Possible sightings include lions, elephants, buffaloes, zebras, wildebeest, hippos and the endangered black rhino. The crater game drive creates a powerful finale to this compact safari.
