Crater Lake Game Sanctuary
Mejor época para visitar
Early mornings are prime, when giraffes and buffalo come down to the water before the heat builds and guides can see further across the crater. For photography, the softer light between June and September keeps shadows gentle on the rim.
Consejos para el presupuesto
Non-residents pay roughly 25 dollars per person with the guided walk included, while Kenyan residents pay about 1,000 shillings. Carry cash and pair this stop with Hells Gate or a nearby flower farm tour to spread the day's cost across several activities.

Acerca de
Datos rápidos: Aproximadamente 100 especies de aves y una manada de jirafas de Rothschild en peligro de extinción comparten este cráter volcánico con hipopótamos y búfalos bajo el borde. Cada caminata por las laderas boscosas puede revelar más de 50 animales, desde bushuks hasta lagartos monitores que toman el sol sobre rocas cálidas.
Destacados: Las jirafas aquí se adentran regularmente en las aguas poco profundas del lago para beber, estirando sus largos cuellos mientras los hipopótamos gruñen a pocos metros, una escena que pocas reservas permiten en cualquier lugar. Después de fuertes lluvias, el agua florece en remolinos de algas rosadas que brillan contra las oscuras paredes del cráter al atardecer.
Consejos de expertos
- Wear closed-toe hiking shoes, the crater slopes are steep and can turn slippery after rain.
- Bring binoculars, the rim gives a bird's-eye view of wildlife that spook easily at ground level.
- Book the first walking safari of the morning to catch the most active animals and dodge later tour vans.
- Skip the midday heat, by 1 p.m. the animals cool off in forest shade and sightings drop off sharply.
