Tanzania 2014 Nrorongoro Crater Day 2

Tanzania is in eastern Africa, just below Uganda and Kenya, and on the Indian Ocean. At the end of our eleven day/ten-night Zambia safari, we flew from Livingston to Johannesburg for an overnight stay. The next day we flew to Arusha, Tanzania via Nairobi. Arriving at Arusha Coffee Lodge at around 8 pm, we spent two nights and one full day relaxing there before our next adventure. On the morning of 28 August 2014, our driverguide, Nelson, picked us up at ACL in his 4x4 Toyota Land Cruiser for the trip to Ngorongoro Crater. After three nights and two full days in the Crater while staying at Lemala Ngorongoro Camp, we flew by Coastal bush plane out of Manyara airstrip to Kogatende airstrip for four nights at Sayari Mara Camp in the remote NW corner of the Serengeti near the Mara River and the Kenyan border. All arrangements for our requested Tanzanian safari beginning with our arrival at ACL until our return to Arusha and departure from ACL on 5 September 2014 were made by Africa Travel Resource.

  • our best and only view of a black rhino in Ngorongoro Crater, on the move and far away; very elusive and reclusive; excellent hearing and sense of smell make it hard to get close; in fact, since these animals are so sensitive, we keep our distance so as to minimize disturbing them
