Hello everyone,
Today we visited the world famous Ngorongoro Crater, considered to be the 8th natural wonder of world. The crater is roughly 100 square miles and is home to roughly 30,000 mammals that reside here year round, as it’s one of the few places that has natural springs. We started early with hopes of catching a few big cats before the heat of the day sent them in search of shade.
All the usual suspects were there, zebras, wildebeest, Cape buffalo, hyenas, jackles, ostrich, many many birds, and even manage to get very close to a few lions. There was a Black Rhino spotted not to far off. Everyone was amazed at the abundance of wildlife to say the least.
We have just finished another wonderful meal here at the Plantation Lodge and the team is off to bed after a long, but very rewarding day on safari.

Just wonderful! Such a natural place for all the animals. No fences. No cages. What a special area this for these lucky creatures. Memories forever for all of you. Wish I was there!
