If possible, plan your trip so you stay the night at one of the lodges that overlooks the crater. It was such a treat to finish a great day of safari and then come back to enjoy a drink on the lodge's view deck and reminisce about all the great things we had seen that day.
The best time to see game is during the dry season between May and August or September and October. Birdwatchers should visit between November and March.
