Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania

After a morning safari at Lake Manyara we take an afternoon drive to the famous Ngorongoro Crater. This is a World Heritage site and it doesn't take long to figure out why.It has it's own little ecosystem on the crater floor and it's just crawling with all sorts of animals.We spent the night on the crater rim then descended early morning into the crater. Within minutes we saw a pride of lions then we had a great drive seeing all sorts of critters.This old guy was on his last legs.Lions returning form a hunt.
We watched this guy walk right toward us from about a km away.He stopped a few feet from the Land Rover took a leak and walked away with big erection.I think he was considering mounting the truck and I was in the backseat!
