More Photos (IV) of Serengeti National Park and Ngorongoro Conservation Area (March 31-April 2, 2008)

These photos are from inside the Ngorongoro Crater:

A lion and her cubs wander along the base of the crater
This photo will give you a sense of just how close we were to some of the animals. This pride of lions walked right beside our Land Rover!
The only elephants we saw in the conservation area or Serengeti
Colorful birds walk through the grass at the base of the crater

Looking down into the crater from the crater rim

The view at the base of the crater. Note the tiny pink dots in the lake - those are flamingos!
