Ngorogoro Crater

Our sweet land rover next to a very large fig tree.
Charlie and Daudi, our fabulous drivers, preparing
a picnic lunch for us on the rim of the crater. Complete
with PB&Js...an extra special treat!
Sarah and I on our way into the crater. Always one of
my favorite parts.
This tembo was spotted before we even had our picnic.
It was quite close to us.

Love the pundamalea (zebra).
A baby hyiena taking a nap under a nice rock.
Ngorogoro is one of the best places to go on safari. We saw elephants, zebras, wildebeasts, cape buffalo, hyienas, ostrich, hippos, and many birds. Sadly this time we did not encounter any simba (lion). Apparently they didn't feel like gracing us with their presence...even though their are 5 prides with about 15 lions in each! Maybe next time:)
