After the Serengeti…

We headed to the famous Ngorogoro Crater. This crater was caused by a huge volcanic explosion thousands of years ago which created a flat area that has become an animal grazing area. This caldera is similar to the one in Yellowstone. Going to Ngorogoro after the Serengeti si like going to the Grand Tetons after Yellowstone. You just continue down the road and run into another natural marvel.

We had several animals ready to welcome us to the area…



A Golden Jackal



Some Cheetahs





After this we headed to Nairobi which brought us to the end of our 2nd trip. We stayed a night in Nairobi, said goodbye to almost everyone who came north from Capetown and struck out on the next portion of our trip heading toward Uganda and Rwanda where would hoped to find chimpanzees and gorillas. Our first stop was a park in Uganda called Nakuru. This location had a lot of water based wildlife, but our greeter here was a rather unfriendly fellow…



The lots of marine life...







We found a very young Zebra…



and another Rhino...



Then we found some hyenas but one of them looks like he should be dialing 911…







Then we found some flamingos near the shore…





The final thing in the park were colubus monkeys…







Now on to Chimpanzees and gorillas...
