Home to some 30,000 animals, it offers the best chance to see the famous "Big Five". Fortified by breakfast, begin the drive around the rim of the crater where you will stop at the viewpoint before dropping to the floor of this extinct volcano. The early morning mists will only add to the romantic atmosphere. Spot rhino, hippo, Thomson's gazelle, zebra, cheetah, buffalo, flamingos... When you feel you need a break from the endless stream of wildlife passing by your 4X4 stop for a picnic lunch surrounded by some of the most spectacular wildlife and natural sights in the world.

The Serengeti is a birdwatcher's paradise too, with at least 350 different species at home here including 34 raptors.
