This is a stop we made at a tourist shop on the way.
Here is a view of the hotel across from our lunch stop on the crater rim.
However, our Ngorongoro visit was still one day ahead.
In the afternoon we travelled on to the vast plains of the Serengeti.
Here a view from a rocky outcrop that one may climb on foot.
We were lucky in our game viewing.
This is a Serval - quite a rare sight.
Giraffes are common, but still entertaining.
That evening we saw a leopard.
(The second time I have seen a leopard in eight visits to Africa)
We camped out overnight and the, the following morning...
...another leopard.
A Steinbuck
Lilac-breasted Roller.
Lillian's Lovebirds
A Hyrax
Dwarf Mongooses
(Baby and mother)
Topi
And a third leopard!
A fascinating visit.
The museum was very interesting and it feels good to have visited such a well-known place.
The visit will be tomorrow...
...but here we are gathering firewood for a cold night camping on the crater rim.
In the morning as we descended into the crater...
...a pair of Cheetahs traversed the hillside by the road.
Flamingoes in the Crater Lake
A Jackal
A mother Hyena with her two cubs
A pride of Lions looking for breakfast
(I think we didn't look too appetising)
Two males do a bit of territorial marking
Wonderful having access to all this automation of the task!
Breakfast - a herd of Wildebeest...
..who promptly decided the time for the Migration had arrived.
A hippo by the Crater Lake
A Kori Bustard - who seems to be looking for a mate
Mother Zebra and foal
Elephant, with fine tusks, striding past the parked vehicles.
Some Hippos in a small lake
Ngorongoro is a wonderful place.
But that does mean that everyone wants to go there.
A final view of the crater.
Taken as we drove out.
