Ngorongoro Crater

We were advised not to go into the Crater using our own car because it was very steep and our car is very heavy. We had to hire a guide anyway, because you cannot visit the Crater without a guide. A good advise because it is easy to loose your way and now Ed had the chance to use the video. Although it was very cold and hazy, around 11 am it cleared and the views were wonderful. We saw flamingo, lots of zebra and wildebeest, buffalo, eland, water buck, warthog and so on and so on. But we also saw lions. One was on the road, we could not miss her. When we stopped the car she saw a shadow and moved next to the car, we could have touched her! We also had an encounter with an elephant which was quite scary. It was a wonderful day which we all enjoyed very much. We only missed Anneke, who usually makes the photo's when we are on safari. Now we were so busy to do it ourselves. But I think we managed well.
