This morning (Tanzanian time) the team will leave the Serengeti for their next stop, the Ngorongoro Crater. The team has seen a lot of wildlife so far and more is on the way! With the leopard they saw the first day, and lions today, they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve now seen 4 of the &#8216;Big 5&#8217;. Hopefully they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll be able to check that last one off the list over in the Ngorongoro Crater later today. Rhinos are tough to spot, but the Crater is a great place to sneak a peek at one. The Crater is absolutely packed full of wildlife and its one of my favorite places on the safari. After an afternoon exploring the Crater, the team will head out of the Crater and to their luxury accommodations for their last night. I know they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll have some stories to tell over dinner tonight! Tomorrow the team will head back to Arusha for some final shopping before their flights home.
