Enjoy a half-day game drive inside the crater, where you can see lions, elephants, zebras, hippos, and the endangered black rhino. The crater also features Lake Magadi, a shallow alkaline lake attracting flocks of flamingos and other water birds.
We take a break at a scenic picnic site, often near the hippo pool, where you can enjoy a delicious packed lunch surrounded by nature.
