Today we drove from Arusha to Ngorongoro Crater and then onto the Serengeti National Park. We spent about 6h in the Crater, because that is all anyone is allowed to spend in the Crater, and it was amazing!
In our time in the Crater, we Zebra’s, Croc’s, Giraffe’s, Elephants, Hippo’s, Topi’s, Flamingoes, Baboon’s, Red Heart Beast, and of course lot’s of Gazelle’s. The highlight of our trip though was that we got to see our first kill! It was an amazing experience to witness nature at it’s best. We were all sitting watching a Cheetah off to our right when she decided that she wanted to cross the road, right between the cars. She remained quite casual through the whole affair until she got across the road and she spotted a couple of Thomson’s Gazelle’s grazing right in front of her. We had all spotted this from the safety of our safari cruiser and watched with bated breath. Then, it was on! We watched the cheetah choose the gazelle, stalk and chase it until success... it was awesome!!!!
After we made our way out of the Crater we drove into the Serengeti National Park and did a game drive until we reached our campsite which was unfenced in the middle of the park. Along this drive we were again lucky and spotted a Leopard! What a day!
