Sunrise on the Rim of the Ngorongoro Crater....

I actually set my alarm to wake up in time for this spectacular view... Sunrise was about 6am or so... It was too beautiful to miss and to be captured by my bootleg camera, but just imagine.. :-) This was from my room's view!

More spectacular views from my room during the day and the entrance to my room from the hallway... The whole lodge was built into the crater...

Animals in the Ngorongoro Crater...

Hey there.... I'm finally back... sorry for the delay... believe me, I have great excuses.... for one, I dropped my laptop and haven't been able to type for about two weeks...I just got the new keyboard yesterday and did the repairs myself...Then I got hung up in Egypt, but thats a long, long story for another blog post and another day!!!  So going back in time, here are some of the animals that Julius (my fabulous safari driver) and I saw in the crater... Honestly it was a little anti-climatic and wasn't as interesting to me as the masai that lived in the rim of the crater, or the sun rising on the crater (view from my room), but maybe I just needed a crazy zoom on my camera and Evany's photograpy skills.. :-) Hey, I did my best... the animals were hiding and pretty far away... And Simba felt the need to get some 'beauty rest' during my safari..Can you imagine the nerve???  Anyway, enjoy!!! :-)

Simba's taking a nap... !!! The nerve....
