The Ngorongoro Crater is a National Park where Maasi people used to live with the animals in the Crater. They were kicked out in 1961 when the Crater was made a National Park. We stayed right on the rim of the Crater.

This is what we saw there:
 |
| Wildebeast |
God created the Wildebeast last. He ran out of ideas so mixed the animals together into one.
1. Stripes of a zebra
2. Tail of a horse
3. Head of a grasshopper
4. Main of a lion
5. Horns of a buffalo
 |
| King of the Ngorongoro |
These two lions are brothers
 |
| Snapper |
 |
| Trapper |
 |
| Hard to see but lioness of left hunting wildebeast right |
We watched for over two hours this lioness along with her fellow lionesses, hunt this wildebeast with strategic skill. They didn't end up catching the wildebeast but almost took on a full grow buffalo. They didn't get that one either. They are the most patient creatures. I told mom she wouldn't be a good lioness because she is too impatient.

| Elephant with hippos! |
 |
| Mom was scared of falling into the elephant footprint! |
 |
| Bad bad Baboons! |
