Edge of the Ngorongoro Crater

We have been flying and sight seeing since we left Cape Town and to pooped at night, or no WiFi. We flew to Johanasburg, had lunch in the airport, then flew to Victoria Falls. We walked along the river that feeds Victoria Falls (will remember the river when not so tired), and viewed the falls on our walk. Very impressive, but was told it's dry season and we should come back when the water is raging. What we did do is take a helicopter ride over the falls. So exciting! We then were taken to Livingston Island on the edge of the falls where we were served lunch under a tent in view of the water and rainbows.


We then flew back to Johanasburg and stayed overnight. The next morning we flew to Nirobi and the next day we took off and landed three times to get to Lake Maynara for our first game drive.


We stayed at a lovely lodge, the Sanctuary. That's our lovely room above. We then drove the Ngorongora Crater discovering game as we drove. 

So far we have seen elephants, zebra, giraffe, lions and their kill. African cape wilderbeats and worthogs. There are many gazelle and water buck. Babies are in abundance because it's spring. We visited a Maisi village today and went into their homes and they danced for us. They have no electric, running water or cars. 

Tomorrow we go to the Seringetti by plane. We hope to see cheetahs and all the mentioned above. Oh, we saw a rare rhino, ther are only 30 left in the crater.

Love to you all.
