This is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been to. The views from the top are stunning and when you go down and ride around, it takes your breath away!. It has a wide variety of animals, flora and fauna. There is a nice little coffee stop area with ample toilets and is an ideal spot for a picnic. There are a number of birds all around. There are water bodies scatters around all over the place and you can see flamingos and other stunning animals.

There’s nothing that can prepare you for the untouched beauty of this place. We had teens and they were taken with the wild life. The drive, the picnic spots and the scenic areas. I wish I could capture and stay in the monument forever. We saw all of the bug 5 except the leopard and so many more birds trees and forms of life The history of this place is amazing

as someone who is well traveled and been to nearly every single continent on earth this is one of those places that you’ll remember for the rest of our life. If you’re debating on visiting here and batting at your itinerary, don’t hesitate to do it. It’s well worth it. You’ll see a ton of animals and maybe you’ll be even lucky to see the 21+ pride of lions.

Stunning! Amazing place, really worth a visit Visiting the crater was one of the most breathtaking experiences of my life. From the moment you arrive at the rim and look down into the vast expanse below, you're struck by the sheer beauty and scale of the place. The views are absolutely stunning — a natural amphitheater teeming with wildlife, lush greenery, and shimmering water bodies. It almost feels surreal, like stepping into a different world untouched by time. The drive down into the crater is thrilling in itself, and once inside, it’s like a live documentary. We saw elephants, lions, zebras, flamingos, hippos, and even the elusive black rhino — all within a few hours. The density of wildlife is truly incredible and unlike anywhere else I’ve been. What makes this crater even more amazing is the peaceful silence that surrounds you, broken only by the sounds of nature. It’s humbling and magical. The guides were knowledgeable and respectful of the environment, making the whole experience even more meaningful. This place is not just a destination — it’s a wonder of the natural world. If you ever get the chance to visit, don’t hesitate. It’s a memory that will stay with you forever. Truly awe-inspiring and worth every second.
