The team enjoying their last dinner in Africa (Phunuru)
Looking into Olduvai Gorge (Phunuru)
The last day of the safari was a good one, with more game viewing on the Serengeti, a visit to the famous Olduvai Gorge, and an excellent adventure into the Ngortongoro Crater. Phunuru reports that as predicted the elusive Rhino finally made a guest appearance down in the Crater (where they are protected by armed rangers). That checks the last box on the “Big Five†(Cape Buffalo, Leopard, Lion, Elephant and Rhino). The team are now ensconced in their luxury lodge where they are enjoying their final team dinner and a pleasant evning on the terrace. Tomorrow they head back to Arusha for some final shopping and repacking, before getting dropped at the JRO Airport for their flights home. Well done team!
