Ngrongoro Photos - from our last day on safari

The first animal we saw as we entered the crater was this black rhino. We only saw it from a great distance so the photo is not that sharp

We probably saw more cape buffalo in the crater than anywhere else

Cape buffalo and egrets

This hyena had just come from a swim in a pool to wash off the blood after feasting on a kill. Those are warthogs in the background

These lions are enjoying the cooling effects of the wet mud

Hyenas and vultures fight over a kill

A zebra browses the grass near the lakeshore

There were a few herds of zebras in the crater along with wildebeests, antelope, and cape buffalo

We spotted this jackal near one of the lakes

The lakes were full of bird life including thousands of flamingos

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We stopped for a lunch break at an area where we were allowed out of the vehicles

This helmeted guineafowl was hanging around the lunch spot looking for a handout

As we set off after lunch, the heavens opened and we had nearly an hour of rain on our way out of the crater
