Ngorongoro Crater (Serena Lodge), May 25, 2007

When we descended into the crater for the first time last year, a phrase popped into my mind - 'it's like opening a box of Crackerjack and getting all prizes and no carmel corn'. Animals, animals, everywhere we looked! This year lived up to our expectations from last year - and more!
