It also has a dense population of predators, which includes lions, hyenas, jackals, cheetahs and the ever-elusive leopards, which sometimes require a trained eye to spot. You will visit Lake Magadi, a large shallow alkaline lake in the southwest corner, which is one of the main features of the crater.

Your safari guide will drive to every side to enjoy your game drive out of the crowd of other safari jeeps.
