Ngorogoro Crater feels like a contrived Disney safari, which makes it all the more amazing that it is actually natural. Traveling west from Arusha, one slowly starts to climb escarpment into the rift valley, and the magic begins. Ngorogoro is a crater that is basically a giant bowl full of wildlife. Here is our guide John and his son on the rim of the crater, with the opposing rim visible across the back.
Buffalo: ornery. Check one of the big five.
Lion cruising through the crate.
A wild pig innocently grazed about 100 meters from the lion, and the lion set its eyes on it. Tourist vehicles watched with baited breath for some Nat Geo action, but the lion decided against.
A pod of hippos frolicked in the pond.
And then gets up to cross into another pond. Spectacular.
Hyena
Then a beautiful drive through the countryside to our hotel.
