We left the Serengeti today. On our way out we were trying to find the migration herd. It's crazy to think that we could drive around for hours and still not see a herd of a million wildebeest. That's how big the Serengeti is. We saw some lions waiting for prey by the rivers. We had a long drive from western Serengeti to Ngorongoro Crater. We had a game drive down in the crater this afternoon and had a chance to see the very rare black rhino way off in the distance. We also saw hyenas and lions being lazy in the afternoon sun. The animals in the crater are not shy and we got very close to the lions and a hyena today. We came back to our lodge and had another spectacular view from the lobby and dinner area. Dinner was great and we got a chance to dance with the performers after the meal. We have another day in Ngorongoro tomorrow and then we head back to Arusha the next day. After that we start the second half of our trip in Dar es Salaam and Zanzibar.
Karibu!
