Parting shots from the Ngorongoro Crater
May 2nd, 2009 by Randy Hanna
After a brief lull in my photography, I’m back at posting some of the shots from my Feb 2009 Safari to Tanzania. The Ngorongoro Crater is always a magical place for me. With the rich diversity of wildlife confined to an area about 10 miles square, I am always surprised as to what I will see and the animal interactions. So before moving on to the Serengeti, here are a few additional images from the crater and our camp site. Photo credits: Larry B – photos 1 & 5; DeAnne B – photo 6; Katherine H – photos 9 & 10.
After all day in the crater, we are treated to a wonderful sunset from our camp site.

When not shooting, eating or sleeping, we were in the camera tent.
Many photographers, like Larry, tried hard to escape the camera tent.
As we depart the crater, I treat you to the often-seen tourist view of zebras.
After 1 1/2 days in the crater, we say so long to the 8th wonder of the world. and begin our trek to the Serengeti
