Day 6 of Safari - Wildlife
« on: July 26, 2016, 01:34:32 PM »
Day 6 of our safari saw us down in the Ngorongoro Crater (actually Caldera).  It is 30x20km across and acts as a mini ecosystem all on its own as the steep walls minimize migration in and out of the Caldera.

The animals are a bit more human acclimatized and so aren't as skittish when the vehicles pass by.
