March 11 - we flew from Zanzibar to Arusha - two hour flight in a single-engine Cessma Caravan flown by an expatriate Canadian who was veryhappy with the work and the professionalism of the outfit compared with his experiences in the bush in Canada. Rae got to sit in the right-hand seat. The flight took us close enough to Mount Kilimanjaro to take a picture.
March 12-14 - three day safari to Serengeti and the Ngorongoro crater. Travel was by this Toyota four-wheel drive.
The first animal sighting was some giraffes crossing the road well before we got to the National Park.
En route we passed this Masai village.
Ngorongoro crater was the third morning of the trip.
The descent was an adventure of its own.
Overnight accommodation was our own tents. The second night we camped on the rim of Ngorongoro crater. An elephant wandering through the campsite provided some excitement especially when it charged Rae when he wandered across the road with camera in hand. He stopped as soon as Rae was back across the road, which was very quick.
The animals and birds - abundant and pretty unfussed by people provided we stayed in the vehicles. As shown in the last photo, the cheetah kept its distance - we thought it was stalking a gazelle - and we failed to see a leopard. We'll let the pictures speak for themselves.
