"In
all of Africa, there are two countries that embody the wild
freedom and beauty that is Africa. Kenya, within it's borders
you will find the relentless culture and pulse of the continent.
Tanzania is filled to it's edges with "Classic Africa".
Untamed, uncultivated, feral and absolutely wonderful. This
is Africa, as only the words of Hemingway can bring justice."

be spending a full day. It is estimated that more than 30,000 animals
are to be found within the crater wall at any one time. Because
the crater floor is mostly flat grassland, with patches of acacia
woodland, game viewing is excellent. Game here includes wildebeest,
zebra, hartebeest, Thomson's and Grant's gazelles, lions, hyenas,
buffalo, hippo and black rhino. There are no giraffes because the
walls are too steep for them to access in and out of the crater.
Return to the lodge
for dinner and overnight.
