After lunch, embark on an afternoon game drive, an opportunity to search for buffaloes, zebras, elands, gazelles, elephants, lions, and scavengers like spotted hyenas and jackals. The crater also offers a glorious opportunity to see the endangered and rare black rhinos. After the game drive, ascend from the crater and drive to the airport for your onward journey.
