Ngorongoro Crater

One of my favorite places of the Africa portion of my trip was Ngorongoro Crater.  We saw some amazing things!  Of course, we were told that we were pretty lucky having seen as many animals as we did, most prominent being the masses of lions and several cheetahs.

Walking the line...

A Gnu, or Wildebeest.  Not so pretty.

Everyone living in peace and harmony...

Except for those lions lying in wait to make that kill!

Happy and content in the shade of the jeeps.

Looking cute up close.  It's a she!

Posing.

A regal looking cheetah.

A fisi (hyena) and her baby.  Not quite as cute as the lion cubs, hunh?
