Tanzania – NgoroNgoro Crater

Well, finally facing two weeks of vacation instead of having ony a short one week break feels like heaven. Having the opportunity to spend it in some of the most beautiful places I know is even better and finally being arrived in Tanzania without any troubles at the Immigration is the best. Honestly, we weren’t so sure, because Markus visum wasn’t approved at all, mine on the other hand has been issued, but wrong. However, everything worked out as things always seems to work in Africa and we could immigrate with a friendly smile and no problems at all. Our pickup worked and after a long and tiring drive we arrived just at sunset time at NgoroNgoro Crater.

Yes I know, I’ve said years ago that NgoroNgoro is to crowded for me and I wouldn’t go again. Well, today proved me wrong, there are still a lot of cars in the crater, but imagine 50 vehicles on about 300km of roads to drive… It was a great experience and the landscap is very special.

Sometime one could forget that Africa also means lakes and nautic birds.

    1. Hi Caro, jaaa, der NgoroNgoro Krater war fototechnisch tatsächlich sensationell! Waren in der zwischenzeit noch 3 Tage in der Serengeti und sind seit gestern auf Zanzibar. Aber Blog war ohne Internet Essig, ausserdem waren wir abends schlichtweg tot, Safari ist extrem anstrengend. Mal schauen, ob ich nachschreiben mag… Cu soon, Marietta
