Last day at the crater


Last days in Tanzania could not have been better. The safari was a great success we saw some wonderful country and amazing wildlife. No fences ,gates, or barriers. No signs posted all over the place. Their were rules and the drivers were strict about them. Every person we spoke to had a different experience. We waited for the black rhino to get up but no luck. Missed a cheetah kill but saw a lion lounging with a bunch of rovers.

I would could come back to Kenya and Tanzania again. My Swahili is getting better and understanding the currency is key "ni bei gani "is how much. Always good when dealing with public transport or gift shopping. Now back at Massai camp site just outside of Arusha. Ticket for bus purchased, clothes washed. Looking at my 2000 plus photos and feeling pretty damn good.
The blog was fun to do and I hope it makes you consider the road less travelled stepping off to the unknown is really pretty exciting. Now where to next? Can anyone think of a way a person can make a living while wandering around the planet? If so please please let me know.
My final blog will be posted on my way home. An overview and some things that may have been missed. An overall view of the east coast and interiors of Kenya and Tanzania.


THIS IS TANZANIA.



On the edge of the crater with the boys


The hyena after a meal. notice the blood stained around his neck. They do not often kill but come after to eat the remains. One guide saw hyena try to take a bite of a lion kill when the lion was still there. The lion hit her in the head once and killed her. She had three small babies he did not hurt them. Do not mess with the king.


Jackal passing by


Baboons hanging out.


All the animals seem to live in peace together excluding the predators. But they all have their place in this ecosystem


Maybe ugly but they are an amazing animal with incredible power. This is what injured the young male lion.



Last sun rise over Ngorongoro crater from the camp site


Balloon trip over the crater would cost you $400 per person.


Rare sighting of a small syvet cat
