Ngorongoro Crater

This weekend, we visited Ngorongoro Crater, one of the most spectacular safari spots in all of Africa, that's just 15 minutes from MIHV's Karatu office. Ngorongoro is reputed to have the densest population of mammalian predators in all of Africa. Inside the crater, we drove past hyenas, herds of zebra and wildebesets, buffalo and elephants, a pride of lions and even a black rhinoceros! (In 1965, there were estimated to be about 108 black rhinos left in the world; in 1995, this had fallen to between 11 and 14).
