BIG elephant in the Crater (Phil Ershler)
Tye called early this morning. Wanted to let us know that Day 2 on safari wasn’t bad, either. They worked their way across the Serengeti to the south, ultimately ending up just outside the Park at Ndutu. He said the highlight of the day was a couple of lions feasting on a zebra who had just lost a foot race. I always like Ndutu this time of year.  Lots of wildebeest and zebra.
Tomorrow will be super full. Up early, driving further south and ending up at the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater. Perhaps a stop at one of the Masaii villages and at Oldupai Gorge on the way.
From the rim of the Crater, they drop down the main “in†road to the Crater floor. They’ve already seen the ‘Big Four’ but a sighting of the black rhino would get them to ‘Five’. Hope it happens for them.
