It took us about 4 hours to get to the Crater, the top of the Crater, but then we had to drive down into it. There is a one way road down and it’s very steep, you have to take another road to get back out of the crater. On the way down, one jeep was stopped almost in the middle of the road as his axle had broke. It was nerve wracking sitting and watching our driver/guide Peter negotiate around it. It was a steep drop off if he missed !
We spent a few hours taking photos and seeing the Crater, which was such a spectacular place. We had a picnic lunch by a lake in the crater and there were so many people there! We saw a Black rhino, he was all alone and off in the distance so I did not get a great shot, even with the big lens. Lots of zebras, wildebeests, hippos, birds, wart hogs, lions and more. We actually saw a male and female lion just after they got a kill. We did not see that part, just the eating part. It looks like possibly a Wart Hog or maybe a Wildebeest. They were in the bushes for the most part, eating it. The lioness did come out after a bit.
Now my photos ….
