We left the truck behind to go to the Serengeti so were all in Jeeps.  The Ngorongoro Crater is amazing!  We saw so many animals!  We came across some Lions who had been feasting on a Zebra, and wanted to rest in some shade - so they did, under our van!  Absolutely amazing!

There were herds of Zebra, Hippos, Warthogs, Monkeys, Flamingos, Buffaly, Wilderbeast and I am sure we saw more.  Our driver got pulled up for speeding and issued with a ticket, a little bit scary when the guy in the passengers seat is carrying a huge gun!

Everyone has to be out of the park by 6pm and we were already pushing that deadline when we got stuck going up the mud track to get out.  It wasn't too bad, the boys pushed us out.  Fairly entertaining however!

Our campsite did not have a fence and after dinner we noticed Zebra really close to our tents, not sure what other wildlife came to look that night?
