Ngorongoro Caldera and Conservation Area

Considered by many to be the 'Eighth Wonder of the World', we descended in our 4x4's for over twenty minutes along the escarpment wall to access the floor below. As we moved closer, all of the little black dots turned into living breathing herds teaming around us.

The scope and immensity is difficult to capture, so I chose the cute factor of this photo for today. We watched a family of Golden Jackals playing, two cubs and the parents. This cub was scared and went for the safety of the burrow. In the background are Grant's Gazelles, Wildebeest and an Abdim Stork. We also saw two rhino's off in the distance, completing the sightings of the Big Five.

Tomorrow we head off to remoter parts to visit a few tribes, one of which is the Hadzabe Bushmen. They are still hunter gatherers and one of the oldest original tribes on earth.

I'm currently taking reservations for the next safari... Will you join us?
