Finally an internet conection.  Today arriving at the Ngorongoro  Crater we climbed to 2400 m over mountainous roads to find our final safari lodging and a cold beer.

   The last four days have  seen us sleeping in tented camps surrounded by guards at night while the lions roared and the elephants trumpeted. We spent our days scanning the plains and forest for wild life. Patience was a virtue as we found prides of lions,towers of giraffes,a thunder of hippos,a dazzle of zebras, a pack of hyenas, and more various wild life. 

  Although there were many  highlights, the migration of the wildebeest and zebras was truly amazing.   Pictures can’t do it justice. Approx. 1 million migrate year round .  As we drove through the heart of it sucking in dust and breaking through the herds we occasionally saw groups of Hyenas dining on their kill .  The  vultures  were standing  by waiting for their remains.

  Other highlights have been a 10 k hike with an armed ranger carrying a MK47 , cheetah sightings,lions eating their kill, giraffes wandering by our camp,  flocks of pink flamingos  and many more.
