The crater walls are forested but four wheel drive vehicles will take you down into this primeval paradise of woodland, lake, river, swamp and plain that shelters animals. Many of these are the large grazing animals such as wildebeest, buffalos, gazelles and zebras that depend on the open grasslands in the crater. These attract the attendant predators, the black-maned lions and hyenas.
The elephant found within the caldera tend to be the lone males who have left the herds in the forested crater rim. In Late afternoon make your way to Kilimanjaro Int. Airport for your flight onwards
