The route rises from the park entrance towards the crater rim, with broad views of the surrounding country when conditions are clear.

When to travel
This runs throughout the year. Mornings are generally the better half of the day for wildlife and for the light, and the heaviest rain falls around April and May and again in November, which can affect road conditions rather than the experience itself.
