Ngorongoro Crater - Say March 7

Our big day going into Ngorongoro crater.

We had eggs and pancakes for breakfast. We tried to get going early.

We saw two male lions right off the bat. The crater is full of zebra, buffalo, and wildebeast. We have seen enough after this trip. You get to the point where you ignore then. We saw two hippos in a small pond. White birds around a water hole. We even saw a mother and calf rhino. They were quite a ways away though. There were more flamingos in the lake, but they were farther away then when we saw them the first day.

We stopped at a restroom near the edge and Robin bought some bracelets from some Maasi kids.

Everyone in the crater eats lunch at the same spot. It is very nice because it is by a small lake. That kept it cool and there was green grass. You had to eat inside the vehicle because there were big birds that liked to eat your lunch.

When we returned to camp we were going to be the only group that night.
