The views from within and from the rim are spectacular. The crater is home to 30,000 animals and a wide variety of birds, who seldom leave due to the availability of water during the rainy and dry seasons.

The park is well-known for its strong population of various resident animals, notably the “big five,” which are called for the five most valued trophies acquired by hunters: Lion: The Serengeti is said to have the most lions in Africa, owing to the quantity of prey species. This environment is home to about 3,000 lions.
