at its widest point. It is 2000 ft (610 m) deep.
It
grew to be this large by sinking of the caldera floor. The caldera floor

of Australopithecus boisei ('Zinjanthropus') and Homo habilis which suggest
that our species first evolved in this area. We arrive at our lodge in

6 Serengeti
After breakfast, we depart for a morning game drive in this magnificent
national park. Our drive will include the search for leopards, lions,
cheetah, hippos and many other animals that will be happy to welcome us
to their kingdom. Apart from the rhinos, which have been decimated by
poachers, and the hunting dogs, which are slowly declining, the Serengeti
is alive and well.
The
wildebeest and buffalo populations have multiplied, benefitting the main
predators - lion, cheetah, and hyena. Cheeky hyraxes and lizards play
on the rocks and a profusion of birds - superb starlings, lilac-breasted
rollers, barbets and ring-necked doves to name but a few - fill the air
with their songs.
Ostriches
and secretary birds stalk the grass, while a family of warthog often scurry
away. Out of the vast sea of grass also rise great granite outcrops, known
as 'kopjes', which have their own range of vegetation and wildlife. We
carry packed lunch in order to make the best of the day. Dinner and overnight
at Serengeti Serena / Sopa / Wildlife lodge.
