The floor is home to a rich and highly concentrated wildlife. Some 20,000 mammals of size live there, including about 20 black rhinoceros, making the crater the best place in Tanzania to see the rhino.

The animals here are less wary of humans and vehicles, and as a result, it's easier to watch them up close, where they roam the lakes, rivers, woodlands, and hills. Exit the Crater and drive to your lodge at the rim for dinner and overnight.
