Today was the last day of our African Safari . Spending  a day in the Ngorongoro Crater is like one stop shopping. With the exception of giraffes, impalas and cheetahs we saw all the animals intermixing. Looking out over the crater floor we could see zebras, wildebeests, buffalo, gazelles, elephants grazing side by side. It was a day of watching both lions and hyenas hunting  for their next prey, the hippos in their ponds and a number of rhinoes off in the distance.Peter is still trying to get a photo op of me petting the lions. LOL

   The ecosystem here is quite different from the Serengati.
Tomorrow we fly to Dar es Salaam, the capital of Tanzania and Sunday we arrive in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe to start the next part of our African adventure.
