Depart in the dark at six, register to enter the game reserve and arrive above the crater. We are all shocked at the size of this immense crater and the height of this mountain.
By the time we drive to the top of the rim and descend, we'll have travelled from a peak altitude of 7858 feet to the crater floor at 5438 feet. How do we know this. CJ turned on his Ski Tracks program. At the base of the crater surrounded by mountains he had 4-bar cell phone service.
Who knew the habitat of these animals was a mile high? The crater provides a safe habitat with year round food and water. The natural state of the animals plays out here without the dramas of chasing the food and water supply like in the Serengeti and Masa Mari.
Before our breakfast stop at just before ten, we've spotted wildebeest, gazelle, ostrich, zebra, Cape buffalo, two types of birds, warthog, hyena, elephant and hippo.
