The crater was made between two and three million years ago when a sizable volcano erupted and then burst into flames. Its floor area is 260 km2 (100 square meters), and its depth is 610 m (2,000 feet).
Between 4,500 and 5,800 meters tall, or between fifteen and nineteen thousand feet, is how tall the original volcano is estimated to have been. The crater’s “big 5” animals—the lion, elephant, rhino, leopard, and buffalo—are well-known. Other fauna you’ll see are zebras, gazelles, wildebeest, impalas, hippos, and other bird species.
