Ngorongoro crater

We started our day at 7 in the morning at the Tumaini Junior School. From there, we left to start our journey to the Ngorongoro Crater! We rode in 4 safari jeeps, with around 6 students per car. On our way there, it was very foggy, cold, and rainy, but once we got down into the crater, the fog was above us and it was a little warmer. We drove around for about 2 hours, stopping when we saw buffalos, warthogs, lions, herons, flamingoes, and zebras. We then stopped to have a short break and eat lunch. By the time we were finished with lunch, most of the clouds had moved away allowing the sun to shine down into the crater. The only thing we hadn’t yet seen was an elephant, so we spent the rest of our time driving close to the sides of the crater with the hope of seeing one. All of the groups saw at least one elephant, and one group got to see a whole family of elephants! The drive out of the crater was beautiful as well. The road was surrounded by a lush forest, and we got to see some baboons. As a whole, the crater safari was one we will never forget.
