The crater floor (610 meters deep and 260 km squared) is a haven for wildlife, a microcosm of East African scenery and animals.

Other animals may include: leopard, cheetah, hyena, warthog, impala, buffalo, hartebeest, eland and many other antelope and smaller mammals. There are many flamingos and a variety of other water birds around the soda lake on the crater floor. More than a 100 species of bird not found in the Serengeti have been found in the crater.
