About this place

A collapsed volcano twenty kilometres across, walled in by a two-thousand-foot rim and packed with more wildlife per square mile than almost anywhere on earth. Black rhino, dense lion prides, and flamingo-lined soda lakes make the crater floor feel like the whole continent distilled into one bowl.
