Ngorongoro Crater and The Serengeti

We spent 2 and a half magical days in the Ngorongoro Crater and Serengeti National Park and the experience was amazing.

We drove through rain and fog to reach the crater, we saw hundreds of different types of animals, scenery you only see in documentaries, Masai Mara people with their cattle and even got to see some lions mating.

My Serengeti experience was also amazing with everything from fun photos at the entry gate, a sunrise hot air balloon ride, a leopard sleeping in a tree, herds of elephants, more lions, hundreds of hippos and an experience of a lifetime.

There are not enough words to describe the magnificence of the crater and the Serengeti so will let the pictures do the talking.
