Karen, Lydia and Ken's East African Adventure

July 4th - 21st, 2006

"If I know a song of Africa, of the giraffe and the African new moon lying on her back, of the plows in the fields and the sweaty faces of the coffee pickers, does Africa know a song of me? Will the air over the plain quiver with a color that I have had on, or the children invent a game in which my name is, or the full moon throw a shadow over the gravel of the drive that was like me, or will the eagles of the Ngong Hills look out for me?" - Isak Dinesen "Out of Africa"

NGORONGORO CRATER


We can all hear James Earl Jones from his narration of Africa: The Serengeti saying "The Ngorongoro Crater, one of the great Wonders of the World....." We stayed in Simba Camp on the Rim. We were on a nice sloping campsite that was supposed to have a panoramic unobstructed view. You can see from the fog in the photo above that we were up in the clouds. We had to drive down a little to be able to get below the cloud cover to see the floor of the caldera. Below is the what the crater looks like from the rim on a picture perfect day (we did not get to see the crater in this light). Ahh!!! Next time we will have perfect weather when we visit.
