Today we spent the day in Ngorogoro crater, the most incredible wildlife experience we have ever had. The most common reaction is “this must be a zoo” but it isn’t. It is just naturally teeming with wildlife. We took hundreds of photos and even culling them was a major exercise. So get ready for it - most you can work out yourself so not much description.
