Sunrise over Ngorongoro Crater

As Hamish, Scott and I wind down our East African Adventure, we take in one last sunrise. This one is coming in over the rim of the World's largest intact Caldera (a Volcano that exploded millions of years ago), forming what might be the World's Greatest Zoo.

Ngorongoro Crater hosts the highest concentration of Wild African animals on the continent, including Africa's largest Lions. This place is truly too big to imagine and when we saw it, we all collectively said "Holy Cow"!!! Most of these animals don't leave the Crater, so it really is like a Land Before Time.

From our vantage pout at the Ngorongoro Wildlife Lodge, a 5-Star Luxury Hotel, perched high up on the Crater Rim, we are sipping Tanzanian Coffee and eating Spanish Omelettes, while listening to hundreds of bird species chirp away happily as the sun wakes them for another day. Soon we will be back in our Land Cruiser, which will pop it's roof and we will drive downwards for nearly 2 km to reach the Crater's floor.

Hopefully we will be able to post some live shots of crazy African animals. Stay tuned....
