Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania

The guides and the tour books all say that what you don't see in the Mara and Serengeti, you will see in the Crater. For our group, this meant better pictures of hyena and lion cubs. We couldn't take our big truck into the Crater, so we took a Land Rover. The most entertaining part of our game drive was the pride of lions and their cubs that took refuge from the sun in the shade of the various trucks (see pic of lions alongside truck with my shadow waving).
