Day 2, we woke up at 6am to watch the sunset over the Great Rift Valley. 7am, we had a hearty breakfast of eggs, toast, and hotdogs, then headed off to Ngorongoro "Crater". I put crater in quotation marks because it is called a crater, but it is really a caldera. The reason it is called a crater is because the first people to discover Ngorongoro did not know it was a caldera and, as our guide told us, it is very hard to change a name once it is in place in the records.
Ngorongoro was definitely my favorite park not only because of the variety of savannah animals, but the breathtaking views.

Pumbas
So many wildebeest!

Lazy lions
This lion jumped at the water- what a scaredy cat
Elephantes
Like I said- SO MANY WILDEBEEST
