CRATER DAY!

We went into the Ngorogoro Crater. It was sooo crazy to see all of these animals in one place! It is the perfect spot for them. They can all get all of the food they need in this crater. This first photo was from the top look out spot. It is about 10-12 photos put together(thanks Photoshop) to make one panoramic photo. It was soooo amazing and made us feel sooo small. Also thank you Macks (www.Bluebeanie.com) for making the photo look cool with the filters. Click on it and make it bigger to really see what was going on.





This is where we stopped to eat lunch. It was beautiful. We had to eat lunch in the truck or the birds would swoop down and steal it. The picture below of Katie was also taken at this lunch spot next to the lake that was there.
The elephants in Africa are so much bigger than the ones in asia. It was pretty cool to see these now that we have seen the asian elephants and pick out the differences. The African ones have way bigger heads and ears that are shaped like Africa. shown below

This was a common site. There were so many places where zebras and wildebeests would just hang out and watch out for each other. Lions and cheetahs were everywhere(even though we only saw one lion and just barely)This is Peter. He was our guide. He was super knowledgeable and was super patient with the annoying people that were also on our Safari tour. (notice there are no pictures of them) I actually asked them to take this picture of us:)
Trying to figure out where to go. Since rainy season(The Long Rain) had began many of the roads looked like this.
